Mission Statement
“Our mission is to enhance a person’s ability to maintain a life of independence and choice.”
Purpose Statement
The agency serves a six-county area (Adams, Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Lincoln and Okanogan Counties) known as Planning and Service Area 8 (PSA8). AACCW receives state and federal funds to develop, support and maintain a comprehensive and coordinated service delivery system for elderly and disabled adults. The objective of these programs is to maintain individuals at the most appropriate (least restrictive) level of service and to minimize premature or unnecessary residential care placement.
Council of Governments
In 1989, the Board of Commissioners of Adams, Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Lincoln, and Okanogan Counties entered into an inter-local agreement to form the Columbia River Council of Governments (CRCOG). The purpose of the CRCOG is to provide a local governing structure for AACCW. Membership is composed of one elected county commissioner from each of the six counties in PSA #8.
The CRCOG governs AACCW by assuming responsibility for promoting the development and enhancement of a comprehensive and coordinated system of community-based services. AACCW serves as an advocate and focal point for the senior and disabled population in the six-county service area.
