Community Partnership on Aging (CPA) is a unique model of municipal cooperation to provide services and resources to the older adults in member cities and beyond. Formed in 1978 by the three visionary mayors of Highland Heights, Lyndhurst and South Euclid to serve their older residents, the agency has grown to include three more cities (Mayfield Heights, Mayfield Village and most recently, Richmond Heights). Funding is a combination of Older Americans Act dollars secured from the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging (WRAAA), funds from Cuyahoga County Department of Senior and Adult Services, contributions by the six cities and private foundation grants and donations. The agency is a Council of Government, with Mayor Patrick Ward of Lyndhurst as the Chair of the Council.
Key Programs/Services
Community Partnership on Aging’s mission, “Improving the lives of older adults and caregivers through programs and services that support independence, community involvement and well-being” means that the organization provides the resources to all older adults in the community, regardless of socio-economic status, racial/ethnic backgrounds and physical ability The mission is fulfilled through meal distribution, social work outreach, transportation, volunteerism, health, education and social programming, produce distribution, and home maintenance/safety modifications so that older adults may thrive in place for as long as they wish. Programs and Services that CPA offers have been modified or on hiatus since March, 2020, but as an essential service, the agency remained open for business!
