CareLink

The Central Arkansas Area Agency on Aging, Inc. was established in 1979 with a staff of five. The agency’s original purpose was to create programs for older Arkansans such as Senior Centers, Transportation, Meals On Wheels, and Information and Assistance. By 2023, 44 years later, the agency operates as CareLink and serves 12,000 people per year.

VISION

A community of people who celebrate living and are aging well.

MISSION

To connect older people and their families with resources to meet the opportunities and challenges of aging.

We accomplish this by:

• providing in-home services to help homebound older people live in their homes as long as possible.

• offering activities and volunteer opportunities that help active older people stay fit, healthy and involved.

• helping family caregivers navigate the maze of available services and care for aging family members.
