We are Missouri's Trusted Voice on Aging

Missouri Association of Area Agencies - ma4 - is the leading resource for service, information, and advocacy to improve the lives of aging Missourians. ma4 supports the effectiveness and capacity of Missouri’s ten AAAs by working with community partners to strengthen advocacy efforts, share information, maximize resources, and assist staff and caregivers in supporting adults to live independently in the homes of our choice for as long as we choose. We advocate at the local, state, and federal level for services and supports that enhance the lives of older adults in the state of Missouri.

We Need to Hear from You! We want to hear from you! If you are an adult 50+, an adult with a disability, or a caregiver of another adult, please take a few minutes to complete the State of Missouri 2024 Needs Assessment Survey today! Your feedback will inform Missouri’s Master Plan on Aging. Results from this survey will help us implement and adjust local policies and programs to better meet our residents’ most pressing needs. Your responses will be completely confidential, and your personal data will never be shared. After you’ve responded, please share the survey link with your neighbors and local networks. We strongly encourage all eligible residents to take the survey. The more people who participate, the better data we will have to inform our plan. This is an opportunity to share your thoughts and shape the future of aging in Missouri! Anyone unable to complete this survey online is encouraged to call 855-773-0665 for phone, in-person, or printed survey options. Thank you for helping make Missouri a great place to live and age with dignity!
