The Office on Aging provides the latest information on services and topics of interest to the senior population and also provides public relations to the community to raise awareness of senior issues.

The primary mission of the Office on Aging is to serve seniors 60+ with information and referral about resources available in this area. We also strive to provide assistance with questions about state and federal programs. This office provides the latest information on services and topics of interest to the senior population and provides public relations to the community to raise awareness of senior issues.

The Office on Aging also coordinates between the five Senior Centers located in Jefferson County in Dandridge, Jefferson City, New Market, Strawberry Plains, and White Pine, where seniors 60+ can participate in a wide variety of activities.
