Satellite offices of the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging in McKeesport and Carnegie are closing and will relocate to Pittsburgh's South Side, a county spokeswoman said.
The new office will be located in Birmingham Towers, 2100 Wharton St., and is expected to be open for business Monday.
The McKeesport location, which had working space for caseworkers, opened in 2003. The Pittsburgh office, which had been located at 441 Smithfield St., downtown Pittsburgh, remained the primary location for senior citizens to get information about services.
The county's lease on the Smithfield Street location has come to an end, prompting the move to the South Side and the closure of the McKeesport and Carnegie field offices.
Housed in the new office will be administrative, caseworker, program and support staff for all AAA programs. The AAA, created in 2000, is mandated to provide older residents with information about health insurance, home care, employment, nursing home alternatives and their legal rights.
Email addresses and most phone numbers remain the same, including the main office numbers of (412) 350-4234 and 1-800-344-4319, the SeniorLine at (412) 350-5460, and Older Adult Protective Services at (412) 350-6905, the spokeswoman said.
