As local, grass-root resources, Area Agencies have advisory counsels who review and comment on all programs affecting aging citizens.

M4A is the leading source of information for Montanans, policymakers, and service providers on aging, healthy living and benefits. Programs and services are designed to improve the physical, social and emotional well-being of older adults and to reduce the burden on families and caregivers. "
