Eldercare Locator

"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."  www.eldercare.gov   or 1-800-677-1116

This service is a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging, connecting you to services for older adults and their families in your own area.  It has been very difficult, indeed -- trial and error, to find services in my geographic region.  Many services provided in more populated areas are not available in this, more rural, area.  Eldercare Locator is designed to provide ideas for services any where in the U.S.  If you are having trouble finding services to support you and/or the person for whom you provide caregiving, this might be a source of information for you.  When I put in our zip code on the above website, the site did provide me with 4 agencies, and their contact information, in our state which provide services or information for older adults who need more support services.
