Founded in 1986, by two visionary and dedicated leaders, Bert Kruger Smith and Willie Kocurek, Austin Groups for the Elderly is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization committed to providing resources for our growing number of local seniors, adults with disabilities and those who care for them.

Our aim is to help middle age generations prepare for their senior years and to embrace the journey without fear, and to provide seniors and caregivers with the support they need to live their most vibrant lives.

We provide services through four interrelated programs:

Elderhaven Adult Day Centers in both Austin and in Williamson County provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment for adults who need assistance with daily living skills.

Our Caregiver Resource Center (CRC), operated in collaboration with the Area Agency on Aging of the Capital Area, provides equipment, information, education and consultation to caregivers and their families. The CRC's community lending closet provides durable medical equipment and supplies at no cost to the elderly and disabled.

Our SeniorNet® Computer Learning Institute is dedicated to teaching computer basics to older adults and others with limited access so that they can participate in the learning of new technologies.

The historic AGE Building provides centrally located, reasonably priced office space and shared services to area not-for-profits.
