Department of Aging

The Department of Aging is committed to ensuring that its vision statement (right) can be realized by enhancing the quality of life for Cleveland Seniors through advocacy, planning, service coordination, and the delivery of needed services.

To ensure that City-run programs and services fulfill these goals, the department has an advisory council with a representative from each City ward.

The department publishes its own newsletter called the Senior News, and organizes and participates in several annual events, where those aged 60 and over can network as well as meet with area service providers.
