We serve motivated and creative people willing to listen
and work together to solve problems that improve the
lives of seniors, through a supportive and progressive
environment.

We operate in a caring, compassionate and nurturing
way for seniors.

In all aspects of our work, we seek to connect and
facilitate the transformation of programs and services
which improve the social wholeness for seniors,
focusing our energy on closing the gap between reality
and vision.

We value the commitment, knowledge, wisdom and
creativity of the men and women of Council on Aging.
Everyone has the ability to contribute to the mission.
Cooperation and respect among individuals, units, and
partners are fundamental to success.

We believe that quality results are achieved through
committed leadership that continually seeks new
challenges.

The complexity of our work and the needs of the senior
environment demand a high degree of focus and
cooperation.

Our business requires continuous improvement under
the guidance of the values in our Mission and Vision.
We strive to set challenging goals, do the right things
right, continuously learn, develop and improve, and take
pride in our work.
We are a private nonprofit organization and the designated Area Agency
for Aging (AAA) under the Older American Act of 1965, responsible for providing
services to meet the needs of senior citizens in the tri-county area of Central
Oregon.
