Aging Services

2013 Fan Drive - 900 E. Pecan Grove, Sherman
The Area Agency on Aging of Texoma is responsible for the development and coordination of a comprehensive system of services for citizens over the age of 60 and for citizens with a disability residing in Cooke, Fannin, and Grayson Counties in North Texas. All services may now be reached by simply dialing 2-1-1. The overall goal of the programs for Older Texans is to promote lifelong independence, providing alternatives in long-term care options through a wide variety of services. All programs are funded in part by local contributions from individuals and businesses, foundations support, and funding received from the Older Americans Act and a variety of other federal grants.
