What term refers to the federal government's coordination of aging services?

• A. The Aging Network
• B. The Elder Care Fund
• C. The Senior Service Coalition
• D. The Gerontology Alliance

Answer: (A)

The term is The Aging Network. It refers to the nationwide system created to coordinate aging services across federal, state, and local levels under the Older Americans Act. This network brings together federal entities (like the Administration for Community Living), state units on aging, and local Area Agencies on Aging to plan, fund, and deliver a range of services such as nutrition programs, in-home assistance, caregiver support, and information and assistance for older adults. The name signals an organized, interconnected framework rather than a single program or fund. The other options don’t represent the formal federal framework for coordinating aging services.
