About

About This Business

Direction Home of Eastern Ohio works with people, communities and organizations to plan, prepare and care for aging and disability through education, advocacy and implementation of services.


Direction Home of Eastern Ohio, formerly Area Agency on Aging 11, was created as a result of the Older Americans Act (OAA). The OAA was designed to provide services to older persons not adequately served by other public and private systems. OAA dollars fund many senior services that enable older Americans to remain in their own homes and communities, avoiding unnecessary and costly institutionalization.

More recently, Direction Home of Eastern Ohio has broadened our scope to offer long-term services and supports to Medicaid recipients and qualifying individuals of all ages.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles. As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service, or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.

When considering complaint information, please consider the company's size and volume of transactions. Note that the nature of complaints and a company’s responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints. BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period.
