I have been blessed to have benefitted from AGE programs, from Bridge Lessons, Computer Classes, pecan shelling and purchases. I have also participated in the HELP Medical supply lending service both as a recipient and a donor. Competent, caring and compassionate staff make you feel valued.

AGE of Central Texas is a wonderful resource. Among other things, they have loaner supplies like shower chairs, walksrs, etc. No fee! Roommate gave his name, address and etc. Practicing Covid guidelines we made an appointment to pick up the shower chair. It was assembled and waiting for us outside. A new piece of equipment at no cost to my roommate.

FANTASTIC, COMUNITY SERVICE , HELPING PEOPLE WITH TRUE NEEDS . I picked up an alternating air pressure mattress with its pump and a shower bench for my 75 year old client who suffers from stage four Alzheimer's dementia. They take donations and then turn around and offer to those in need without all the drama and obstacles of paperwork and on and on. God bless you AGE OF CENTRAL TEXAS

Since 2015, I have cared for my now 86-yr-old mother who suffers from memory loss. I am a single woman who works full-time and commutes two hours a day. I have attended several of AGE's workshops and conferences and found them to be beneficial and informative. However, after some of these programs, I contacted the speakers, via email and/or phone, to inquire about their services and none of them ever responded. In 2017 and 2018, I called the AGE office at least three times and left voice messages, but no one has ever responded. So, except for the workshops, I'm not sure what benefit they provide

The computer lab for mature adults is taught by all volunteers who speak simply, intelligently and with respect for your age. I have learned photography from my phone and Dslr, software applications, and safe we browsing. In another wrong of the building there is adult daycare. Valuable resources for our adding community.
