ABOUT THE ELDERCARE LOCATOR
The Eldercare Locator is the first step to finding resources for older adults in any U.S. community. It is a free national service of the Administration on Aging, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Just one phone call or Website visit provides an instant connection to resources that enable older persons to live independently in their communities. Support services for caregivers are also available.
The National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) administers the Eldercare Locator. n4a is the leading voice on aging issues for Area Agencies on Aging and a champion for Title VI-Native American aging programs in our nation’s capital.
