Who We Are


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 and most recently, Richmond Heights joined, in 2019.

Our mission promotes independence, a healthy lifestyle, community involvement, and opportunities for personal growth for older adults, as well as support for family caregivers.  This 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.

Funding is provided by the member cities; Title III of the Older Americans Act from the Ohio Department on Aging through the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging; Cuyahoga County through the Health and Human Services Levy; private foundation support; program donations; and contributions of time and dollars. All programs and services are provided without regard to race, ethnicity, marital status, religion, gender, disability, age, political belief, sexual orientation or veteran status. Services and programs funded by Title III or by the Cuyahoga County Health and Human Services levy will not be denied based on an individual’s inability to contribute.

Current programs and services include transportation, Community and Frozen meal options, and supportive services. In addition, the agency provides counseling, volunteer management, health, wellness, civic and social opportunities and assists older adults in maintaining independence in their homes. There are 17 paid staff and over 120 unpaid staff that help carry out the mission.

The Agency Director reports to a Council of Government (COG), which serves as the Board of Directors and is made up of the Mayor of each of the six cities, with the Lyndhurst Mayor serving as chair.  The COG Meetings are held quarterly (currently on Zoom).  Minutes from the November, 2022 meeting are posted here

On February 11, 2022 CPA’s Council of Government adopted a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement:

At the Community Partnership on Aging…we put people first by improving lives through programs and services that support independence, community involvement, and well-being. We enhance the quality of life and are deeply committed to ensuring that this is done in an equitable and inclusive way.  

We fully embrace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and will continually work to improve the diversity of our board, workforce, volunteer corps and supplier base. Creating an environment where everyone has equal opportunity to provide services that enhance the dignity, security, and overall well-being of the older adults in our communities allows us to expand our work into more diverse communities and make meaningful impact in the lives of others.  

To do this, all of us must lead inclusively by empowering each other, displaying courage, and practicing humility. This will undoubtedly position us to reach more people, mobilize more communities and open more opportunity for life-changing impact for older adults, their caregivers, and families. 

What We Believe: From Statement to Action
Diversity is the representation of varied identities and differences collectively and as individuals.

Equity seeks to ensure fair treatment, equality of opportunity, and fairness in access to information and resources for all. We believe this is only possible in an environment built on respect and dignity.

Inclusion builds a culture of belonging by actively inviting the contribution and participation of all people. Every person’s voice adds value, creates balance, and empowers despite differences.

If you would like to join our Diversity Committee or volunteer in another capacity, call us at 216-291-3902.
