ElderCare Locator
The Eldercare Locator
is a public
service of the U.S. Administration on Aging. It's a first step in finding resources for older adults in any U.S.
community. Just one phone call or Website visit provides an instant
connection to resources that enable older persons to live
independently in their communities. The service links those who need
assistance with state and local area agencies on aging and
community-based organizations that serve older adults and their
caregivers.
