Area Agencies on Aging
Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) are 28 agencies across Texas that provide services to help people aged 60 and older, with support also available to grandparents raising grandchildren.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Texas?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does your relationship to the person — grandparent — count for this program?
- 03
Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (60–null)?
- 04
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 05
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 06
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- 07
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 08
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
