Which term refers to the division within HHS that provides a community for home- and community-based services for older adults and disabled persons?

• A. Area Agencies on Aging
• B. GDP
• C. US Administration on Aging (AOA)
• D. Health Literacy

Answer: (C)

The key idea is identifying the federal agency within HHS that oversees aging services and coordinates home- and community-based programs. The Administration on Aging is the office that provides national leadership, policy, and funding for services that support older adults and people with disabilities, and it guides the local delivery of these programs through Area Agencies on Aging. In other words, this division sets the framework and resources for community-based elder care, while local agencies implement the services directly in communities. The other options don’t fit: GDP is an economic measure, Health Literacy refers to understanding health information, and Area Agencies on Aging are local organizations, not the federal division.
