The Harris County Area Agency on Aging is part of a nationwide network of agencies coordinating supporting services for adults 60 years or older and their caregivers.

• Caregiver support:  Information and respite services to help caregivers meet their own needs as well as those of family members who are aging. 
• Health promotion programs: Risk-reducing services for seniors such as dental, vision, hearing and prescriptions.  
• Information referral and help: Specialists use a vast database to provide resources. All calls open the door to information about community resources.
• Intervention services: Evidence-based programs to teach positive aging; 
• Links to senior services: Find senior services, resources, and information.
• Long-term care ombudsman program: A specially-trained advocate who can explain rights, resources and procedures to help identify, investigate, and resolve complaints of residents in a nursing home, skilled nursing unit, or other type of facility. 
• Nutrition programs: Congregate meals at community and senior centers — hot meals offered five days a week to older adults (60+). Home-delivered meals — weekly delivered, well balanced meals to the elderly, homebound and/or disabled.
