About NCOA
Since 1950, we’ve walked beside generations of Americans. We were the first national voice for older adults. We helped end mandatory retirement. We advocated to secure Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act. Local organizations turned to us for support as they served older adults every day. And we built digital tools that empower older adults with knowledge.
Now, we’re stepping forward to do even more. Americans are living longer, but far too many are being left behind without the resources to age with dignity. We’re changing that.
We believe aging well is something every American deserves-regardless of gender, color, sexuality, income, or zip code. We deliver the resources, tools, best practices, and advocacy our nation needs to ensure that every person can age with health and financial security.

Please Donate. Your generosity brings us a little closer to a just and caring society in which each of us, as we age, lives with dignity, purpose, and security.

    My mother had 30 falls in 9 years while I cared for her. I tried everything in my power to prevent her falls. I often wondered if her implanted lens and monovision contributed to her imbalance.
