Consumers gave Ohio’s 12 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) a better than 99% approval rating on their management of the PASSPORT program throughout 2011.  On January 30, the Ohio Department of Aging released data reporting results of its consumer satisfaction survey for the entire state.

Consumers rated their satisfaction through participation in programs offered by AAAs at over 99% statewide.
