How to apply for Area Agency on Aging services (Uintah Basin AAA, UBAOG) — Daggett in Utah
Uintah Basin Area Agency on Aging (Uintah Basin Association of Governments)
Who it's for
The Uintah Basin Association of Governments (UBAOG) in Roosevelt runs the Area Agency on Aging for Duchesne and Daggett counties. Senior centers serve meals and offer activities; people 60 and older are asked for a suggested donation of $3.00 a meal. SHIP counselors give free help with Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap and Medicaid, and MIPPA staff help people with low incomes apply for programs that lower Medicare drug and Part B costs; a counselor is available Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 435-722-4518. The Alternatives case manager helps frail older people stay at home with home health aides, homemaker and personal care, and emergency response systems. The Caregiver Support Program helps people caring for a loved one 60 or older. Veteran Directed Home and Community Based Services are available for eligible veterans. The long-term care ombudsman (435-722-5300) speaks up for people living in nursing and assisted living facilities. In Daggett County, a lunch is served on Wednesdays at noon at the Manila Senior Center on Highway 43 (435-784-3143); call ahead, because the state aging list shows the Manila center as temporarily closed.
Most services are free or by donation, and some have waiting lists. Older Americans Act services start at age 60. Medicaid (through the Department of Workforce Services) decides Medicaid long-term care eligibility.
