The Eldercare Locator, public service of the Administration
on Aging, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
is a nationwide service that connects older Americans
and their caregivers with information on senior services.
The Eldercare Locator is designed to help older adults
and their families and caregivers find their way
through the maze of services for seniors by identifying
trustworthy
local support resources. The goal is to provide users
with the information and resources they need that
will help older persons live independently and safely
in
their homes and communities for as long as possible.
Established in 1991, the Eldercare Locator links
those who need assistance with state and local
area agencies on aging and community-based organizations
that serve older adults and their caregivers. Whether
an older person needs help 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 administered in partnership
with the National Association of Area Agencies
on Aging and the National Association of State
Units on Aging.
