Eldercare

Where can I find info about services for older adults and their families?

The Eldercare Locator is a nationwide service that connects older Americans and their caregivers with trustworthy local support resources. Since 1991, the Eldercare Locator has been linking those who need assistance with state and local agencies on aging, as well as community-based organizations that serve older adults and their caregivers. Whether help is needed with services such as meals, home care or transportation, or a caregiver needs training and education or a well-deserved break from caregiving responsibilities, the Eldercare Locator is there to point that person in the right direction.

The Eldercare Locator is a public service of the Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency of the U.S. Administration for Community Living.

This locator allows you to search a variety of topics using ZIP codes, or city/state, to find services nearest you.  You can get more info at the following link:  https://eldercare.acl.gov/Public/Index.aspx or call 800-677-1116.
