Area Agency on Aging
The Golden Crescent Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is one of twenty-eight in the state, and more than 700 in the United States and its Territories. The Golden Crescent Regional Planning Commission is designated to serve the needs of the elderly in Calhoun, Dewitt, Goliad, Jackson, Lavaca and Victoria counties. This is accomplished by administering federal grants under Title III of the Older Americans Act.
AAA's Mission
To provide outstanding health and human services through consumer benefits, advocacy, and information and referral services.
Golden Crescent AAA strives to serve as an advocate for persons 60 years and older to achieve a better quality of life; to secure and maintain self-determination and dignity; and, to remove individual and social barriers to economic and personal independence. The Golden Crescent AAA will fund Title III Older Americans Act programs in an ethical, transparent, and fiscally responsible manner.
AAA's Services
Providing the services is accomplished through a combination of subcontracting and direct service arrangements. The local subcontractors consist of four senior citizens associations, two units of local government and three, public, non-profit organizations.
