A community where everyone has the opportunity to age successfully.
Established 1964
Promote the independence, dignity, and well-being of adults through service, education, and advocacy.
Whether you are learning the Medicare system, looking for services to help you stay healthy and independent at home, or need support in taking care of others, the Council on Aging of Buncombe County can help you to make the right connections.
Whether you know about the “silver tsunami”, or remember John F. Kennedy popularizing the saying “a rising tide lifts all boats”, the time is now to to help Council on Aging increase its strength to improve capacity in a shared effort to benefit us all as we embrace the rapid growth of our aging population.
With more than 75,000 adults age 60+ in Buncombe County today and in response to both economic crisis and projected trends in the care economy, we are asking you urgently for financial support. Council on Aging of Buncombe County stakeholders – staff, volunteers, donors, sponsors and grant funders -rose to the occasion during the pandemic.
Will YOU be an ally for us this year, in the wake of acute COVID, to advance our mission and the vision we have for a community where everyone has the opportunity to age successfully?

Thank you for referring me to the Buncombe County Council on Aging to identify a drug insurance program that meets my needs.
I had the good fortune of reaching Tim Clapp who not only walked me through my options but custom-designed a drug insurance program based on my prescriptions.
The hour I spent with him, not only resulted in applying for Plan D but also brought humor and encouragement to an otherwise challenging day.
I am grateful to know such wonderful professionals are available to us as we navigate Act III.
