The key features of this form include your rights to receive information about available services, make independent choices of service providers, and be informed of any changes in services. You also have the responsibility to provide complete and accurate information and inform the Area Agency on Aging or its service provider(s) of your intent to withdraw from the program or known periods of absenteeism.
