Tri-County Office on Aging (TCOA) was founded as the Area Agency on Aging in 1974 as a Consortium with Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties and the cities of Lansing and East Lansing.
It is TCOA's mission to promote and preserve the independence and dignity of the aging population.
As a not-for-profit organization, TCOA helps older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers access programs and benefits, improve their health, and remain active in their communities. Working in partnership with agencies and service providers across the area, TCOA embraces a person-centered philosophy that focuses on how a person wants to live their life while honoring their preferences.
At TCOA, we are part of the community. We serve our neighbors, friends and family members every day. To accomplish the agency’s mission, we connect people who need help to service providers, volunteers, donors, businesses and governments throughout Eaton, Clinton and Ingham Counties and the Cities of Lansing and East Lansing. Although TCOA’s Meals on Wheels is our best-known program, our reach goes well beyond providing nourishing meals. Many of our services are provided at no or low-cost, or have fees based on a sliding scale.
TCOA’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion aligns with the agency’s overall values and mission to promote and preserve the independence and dignity of the aging population. TCOA continues to promote an environment that is supportive and welcoming of its staff, participants, volunteers, and community members.
