The Suffield Senior Center and Suffield Community Aid are pleased to announce that we have been officially designated as a Community Focal Point for Aging Services through North Central Area Agency on Aging. This designation was received after demonstrating our commitment to the role as a visible, recognized place where community members can find information and gain access to a full range of aging services. Now more than ever, older adults and individuals with disabilities need to be able to identify trusted sources of information delivered in an unbiased and person-centered manner. We are excited to be welcomed to the North Central Area Agency on Aging (NCAAA) team
