   • Mission

The mission of LeadingAge is to promote the interests of its not-for-profit members in Maine and New Hampshire, which provide healthy, affordable and ethical long-term care to our older citizens through education, advocacy, representation and collaboration.

   • History

Northern New England Association of Homes & Services for the Aging (NNEAHSA) was founded on May 18, 1984, at a meeting of representatives of 13 long-term care facilities from Maine and New Hampshire. In January, 1985, an affiliation agreement was signed with the American Association of Homes for the Aging (AAHA), now the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA).

Over the years, NNEAHSA, then Aging Services, and now LeadingAge, has grown steadily under the guidance of numerous dedicated volunteers. By 1992 membership had grown to over 50 facilities and, in 1993, the first staff member was hired. Today, Leading Agerepresents over 100 facilities including CCRC’s, assisted living, nursing home, and housing facilities, which serve over 10,000 older people.
