Question: My mother is aging and needs help and I can't quit my
job to take care of her. Are there services that can help us?
Answer: The Eldercare
Locator (1-800-677-1116) helps families find service providers and formal
caregivers where their loved one lives...even if their loved one lives some
place else.
Through the Older Americans Act and state and local
resources,
a network
of state and local agencies on aging are available to assist you in caring
for your loved one, whether you live next door or in the next state.
There are many community agencies that help families care for their
elderly relatives. Explore the section of your local phone book headlined
"Senior Citizens' Services" for information about agencies in your community.
