Region 3B Area Agency on Aging serves as the designated area agency on aging for Barry and Calhoun counties. As a private, not-for-profit entity in the health care sector, it supports seniors, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers by promoting health, independence, and choice. The agency operates under the framework of the Older Americans Act, which coordinates federal, state, and local programs to help older adults maintain health and independence in their homes and communities. Designated in 1996 by the state's Office of Services to the Aging, the agency fulfills its mandate through three core activities: advocating for older and disabled people, assessing needs and planning in-home and community services to preserve independence and dignity, and administering a mix of federal, state, local, and private funds to support those services. Based in Battle Creek and operating as Region 3B, it coordinates programs that help seniors and their caregivers access resources and maintain health and autonomy in their homes and communities.
