South Carolina Office on Aging
The Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging works with a network of regional and local organizations to develop and manage programs and services to improve the quality of life of South Carolina's older citizens, and to help them remain independent in their homes and communities.
The Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging, through its administration of the Older Americans Act programs, aids 34,000 older adults who have the greatest social, economic, and health needs, and rural and low-income minority elders. Additionally, the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging works with many other state agencies, as well as with the private sector, to coordinate the needs and interests of older adults and to develop new resources.
The Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging is the statewide leader for advocating, planning and developing resources in partnership with individuals and communities to meet the present and future needs of over 717,000 older South Carolinians and their caregivers; to develop and coordinate a comprehensive continuum of care system; and to promote education, research and training in the field of gerontology.
The vision of the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging is to be the first resource considered when anyone needs information, service options, and guidance concerning issues related to seniors and vulnerable adults.
The mission of the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging is to partner with state and local governments, non-profit organizations, and the private sector to enhance the quality of life for seniors and/or vulnerable adults.
