The Eldercare Locator is a nationwide service that connects older Americans and their caregivers with trustworthy local support resources. Since 1991, the Eldercare Locator has been linking those who need assistance with state and local agencies on aging, as well as community-based organizations that serve older adults and their caregivers. Whether help is needed 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.
On the Eldercare Locator’s website, https://eldercare.acl.gov/ you can search for eldercare services in your community by entering your zip code or city and state. Questions? Call their toll-free phone number: 1-800-677-1116.
