If you're seeking services or assistance for an aging loved one, you're not alone....

An estimated 43.5 million caregivers are providing care to a family member or friend age 50 or older.

To assist in finding services, benefit programs and caregiver information, the Eldercare Locator is available as a free service. 

 Eldercare Locator connects you to information about local resources and services, such as meal delivery, transportation and financial assistance. You can also get information on support groups and other services that offer caregivers a break from daily caregiving responsibilities.

 The Eldercare Locator also has brochures on topics for older adults such as housing options, transportation, managing medicines and preventing falls in the home. Call the Eldercare Locator at (800) 677-1116 or visit http://www.eldercare.gov to learn about resources.

Eldercare Locator is a free public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging and is administered by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a).
