Families, not social service agencies or government programs, are the foundation of care for older adults in the United States.

The Caregiver Support Program is designed to support family members who are caring for adults 60 years of age or older, grandparents raising grandchildren or other relatives under age 18, and caregivers 60 or older who provide care to persons with developmental disabilities.

The support services they offer to caregivers are:

• Information about resources
• Education, training and support groups
• Care coordination
• Assistance in accessing services.

In addition, in-home support services for eligible care receivers are available on a short-term limited basis.

Care coordinators evaluate the needs of care receivers and caregivers for assistance.

Mission Statement: AAACAP plans, develops and provides a coordinated system of services designed to promote independence for persons 60 years of age and older with a primary focus on frail, rural and low-income minority individuals. This mission is mandated through the Older American’s Act of 1965, as amended (OAA), and supported by Texas Health and Human Services.
