Welcome to the Office of Aging and Adult Services (OAAS) Website. 

I am pleased to welcome you to the Office of Aging and Adult Services (OAAS) website.  I hope the information provided on this website will increase awareness of the supports and services provided to seniors and persons with adult onset disabilities through DHH and OAAS.  It is also hoped that this website will keep the public informed of our activities as we work to enhance these services. 

It is the goal of the Office of Aging and Adult Services to develop and provide services that offer meaningful choices for persons in need of long term care. The Office faces many difficult challenges as we work to achieve this goal. It will take time and hard work, but we are committed to developing a long term care system that provides choice, ensures quality, meets the needs of consumers and caregivers, and does so in a fiscally responsible manner. This website will provide updates on our efforts. In addition, the site provides links to OAAS Regional Office locations, facilities,  and contact numbers, as well as links to other state agencies and resources. If further assistance is needed, you may call the OAAS Office at (866) 758-5035.

Sincerely,

Hugh Eley,

Assistant Secretary
