Best Collective Services For The Aging

AGE Building

It's not like the world doesn't already spin fast enough, but it seems to be spinning faster and faster, and orbitals seem to turn more and more frequently. As we age, does it become even more a blur? The AGE (Austin Groups for the Elderly) Building, located in the purportedly haunted ex-home of the Confederate Women's Home at the corner of Cedar & 38th, is now home to a variety of social service organizations, most of which specifically serve the needs of Austin's elderly. There's Elderhaven Adult Day Care, Family Eldercare, Eloise's House Alzheimer's program, and the SeniorNet Learning Center, a "Computer 101" of sorts specially geared to the needs of older folks catching up to technology's twisting curve. The AGE Building is also home to other nonprofits like The Nonprofit Center and Artists' Legal & Accounting Assistance (AALA). Sharing important resources, instead of reinventing the wheel earns this collection of public service entities a hat's off from us.
