How to apply for AACOG Alamo Area AAA — Title III + ADRC + Benefits Counseling (McMullen County)
Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) — Alamo Area AAA division; designated Area Agency on Aging under the Older Americans Act Title III for the 12-county Alamo Area region (excluding Bexar which has its own Bexar AAA)
Who it's for
AACOG operates TWO distinct AAAs: (1) the Bexar AAA serving Bexar County only (tx.bexar.bexar_aaa_aacog); (2) the Alamo Area AAA serving the 12 surrounding rural counties (Atascosa, Bandera, Comal, Frio, Gillespie, Guadalupe, Karnes, Kendall, Kerr, McMullen, Medina, Wilson). The Alamo Area AAA serves McMullen County under the Older Americans Act Title III with congregate meals at local senior centers, Home-Delivered Meals for homebound seniors age 60+, Information Referral and Assistance, Benefits Counseling (HICAP/SHIP Medicare counseling), Care Coordination, Caregiver Support including respite, In-Home Support, and ADRC services.
