The Eldercare Locator database is designed to link
older adults and their caregivers to unbiased information
and assistance resources at the state and community
level. To accomplish this goal, the Administration
on Aging (AoA) works in partnership with State and
Area Agencies on Aging funded through the Older Americans
Act (OAA). These agencies provide AoA with the information
resources located in the Eldercare Locator database.
In addition to OAA mandated information and referral
programs, the database includes special purpose information
and assistance resources for legal services, elder
abuse prevention, health insurance counseling, prescription
assistance, and the long term care ombudsman program. To ensure the integrity of the Eldercare Locator
service, AoA does NOT accept unsolicited requests
from organizations to be included in the database.
