Community Partnership on Aging was established as the Tri-City Consortium on Aging in 1978 as a cooperative agreement between the cities of Lyndhurst, South Euclid and Highland Heights to meet the needs of older adults and their caregivers/families. In 2011, Mayfield Heights became a member, necessitating a name change. In 2012, the agency's name was formally changed to Community Partnership on Aging. In 2012, Mayfield Village joined. In 2020, Richmond Heights joined. Our mission is to promote independence, a healthy lifestyle, community involvement, and opportunities for personal growth for older adults, as well as support for family caregivers. Our mission is carried out through planning, coordinating, and providing services that enhance the dignity, security, and overall well-being of the older adults in our communities. Current programs and services include transportation, a congregate meal program delivered weekdays, and supportive services. In addition, the agency provides counseling, volunteer management, homemaker services, health, wellness, civic and social opportunities and assists older adults in maintaining independence in their homes. Due to our unique relationship with our member cities, Community Partnership on Aging is deemed to be a governmental instrumentality and is therefore recognized as a nonprofit organization. In addition, the CPA Commission has also filed for and obtained 501c3 nonprofit status.
