Dedicated to Serving East Texas,
One Senior at a Time!
Hello, we are the
Area Agency on Aging of East Texas
We are part of a nationwide network coordinating supportive services for seniors as mandated by the Older Americans Act of 1965 and its subsequent amendments.
Our programs are tailored to meet the social, nutritional, educational, and logistical needs of residents
aged 60 years and older, caregivers, or individuals receiving Medicare, regardless of age. The AAA serves as the region’s leader in advocating and providing a variety
of services, such as information and referral, benefits counseling, case management, health education classes, senior nutrition, housing repair, and advocating through the Ombudsman program for people in nursing and assisted living facilities. These services help older individuals live independent, meaningful, and dignified lives in their own homes and communities as long as possible.

We can't wait to host hundreds of area nursing facility administrators, practitioners, caregivers, and others who work with seniors at our 33rd annual REACH Conference (Regional Education on Aging, Caregiving, and Healthcare) next month! The Area Agency on Aging (AAA) hosts the annual conference to provide educational workshops, plenary sessions, and networking opportunities. This year's conference will be held at Maude Cobb in Longview on October 2-3 and is ideal for professionals or caregivers serving older adults and persons with disabilities.
