It is the mission of the Eastern Area Agency on Aging to provide older adults, caregivers and adults with disabilities in Hancock, Penobscot, Piscataquis and Washington counties in Maine with the information and access to resources they need to be healthy, engaged and supported in their communities. The organization has been supporting our four counties since 1973.
