Caregiver Statistics
The Ark-Tex Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is designated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to provide services to help people age 60 and older, their family members, and caregivers to help them receive the information and assistance they need in locating and accessing community services. Services are targeted to those with greatest economic and social need. Particular attention is paid to people with low-incomes, older people who belong to minority groups, and older people residing in rural areas. In addition, family members and other caregivers may receive information and services on behalf of the older person for whom they are providing care.
