Local Office On Aging

The Local Office on Aging is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. We are dedicated to our mission of helping older persons remain independent for as long as possible. To effectively carry out this mission, we administer over 25 community services that provide nutrition, education, advocacy and socialization. We strive to enhance the quality of life in the home, help individuals stay in their homes and avoid early institutionalization, provide support to caregivers of the elderly, and advocate for quality services, medical care, and housing for the elderly. LOA is funded by federal, state, and local governments, corporate and private foundations, United Way, Foundation for Roanoke Valley, donations and fund raising. Our agency serves those 60+ in the Fifth Planning District in the Commonwealth of Virginia, including Alleghany, Botetourt, Craig, and Roanoke counties and the cities of Covington, Roanoke, and Salem.
