CPAAA Is Here to Help
For over 50 years Central Plains Area Agency on Aging (CPAAA) has helped guide older adults, caregivers and persons with disabilities by providing information, assistance and support.

CPAAA serves older individuals, family caregivers, adults with disabilities and professionals in Butler, Harvey and Sedgwick Counties.
Let's change the way we view getting older.
Avoid Ageism and Ageist Remarks.
Ageism is unfair treatment of older people based on negative and untrue stereotypes about their age. Ageist attitudes and remarks can affect both individuals and society, impacting things like health, jobs, social interactions, self-esteem, and mental well-being.
