Direction Home Akron Canton Area Agency on Aging & Disabilities (Direction Home Akron Canton) is a private, non-profit organization providing long-term care programs and services to older adults and individuals with disabilities. Direction Home Akron Canton has been a leader in long-term care for over 40 years, serving thousands of individuals throughout Portage, Stark, Summit and Wayne Counties.

Direction Home Akron Canton, along with 11 other Area Agencies on Aging across the state of Ohio, was designated by the Older Americans Act which was designed to provide services to persons not adequately served by other public and private systems. Our focus is funding and advocacy surrounding programs and services that allow older adults and people with disabilities to remain independent and in the home of their choice.

At Direction Home Akron Canton, we understand the importance of independence which is why we’ve made it our mission to ensure that you and your loved ones can stay happy, stay healthy and stay home. As an employer, we actively recruit employees who share a passion for our mission to provide older adults, people with disabilities and their caregivers long-term care choices and consumer protection so they can achieve the highest quality of life.
