Aging at Home Fairbanks (AAH Fairbanks) is a member organization offering support for older adults to live independently and remain engaged in their community.

Members remain socially connected, informed and open to new learning opportunities through social events, special interests groups, lectures, and discussions.

Members receive social support services that they need to remain in their homes as they age. Many services are provided by our wonderful volunteers; for services that our beyond volunteer scope, there is a list of screened paid providers.
