Department for Aging and Independent Living

The Kentucky Department for Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) oversees and monitors the adminstration of programs and services at the local and regional level, establishes policy and advocates on behalf of Kentucky's elders and people with disabilities. DAIL works to support and enhance freedom of choice and independence.

In partnership  with Kentucky's 15 Area Agencies on Aging and community partners to provide needed services and programs, DAIL is focused on addressing issues and circumstances that stand in the way of elders and people with disabilities achieving the best possible quality of life.

Because locating, understanding and accessing public programs and services can be difficult, DAIL helps streamline processes and provides one-on-one assistance by phone. We help clients find the most appropriate programs and services for their needs.

We have also tried to make our Web site as user-friendly and functional as possibly by providing information and links to other resources of interest to elder Kentuckians, people with disabilities and their families.

For additional information, please contact us.
