Using data from Connecticut's management information system for Title III funds, we found, first, that such services are reaching at least one person in every town and thus modestly fulfilling a gateway function; about 9% of Connecticut's elderly use Title III services, with 20% of the oldest old obtaining such services. Nutrition services are reaching the most elderly, both numerically and geographically; among the oldest old (85+), home care service use was most widespread. Indices of use were not statistically related to specific characteristics of the towns' populations (i.e., percentage of elderly, poor, or minority elderly), but small cities and rural towns had the highest use levels. Presence of nutrition sites within the town and service through two of the five area agencies on aging (AAAs) were also correlated with high service use, controlling for the rural-urban continuum. Those two AAAs received the highest per capita amount of Title III funds, based on the state's targeting formulas.
