Because this directory aims to be a comprehensive guide to federal government agencies and national not-for-profit organizations that address the special health care needs of older adults, it does not list local social service agencies and organizations that assist older citizens. To locate aging services in your community, contact the Eldercare Locator, a national toll-free directory assistance public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging. The primary goal of the service is to promote awareness of and improve access to state, area agency and local community aging programs and services.
