Facing
Elder Care and Alzheimer's in Your Family? Don't Panic!
Since 1991, the Elder
Care Locator, a nationwide toll-free service, has helped older
adults and their caregivers find local services for seniors. The U.S.
Administration on Aging is now pleased to make part of this service
available on-line so that consumers can easily link to the information
and referral (I&R) services of their state and area agencies on
aging. These I&R programs can help you identify appropriate services
in the area where you or your family member resides.
The Administration on Aging (AoA)
is the focal point and advocacy agency for older persons at the federal
level. AoA provides leadership, technical assistance and support to the
national aging network. It administers most OAA programs at the federal
level. These programs provide assistance to older persons and their
caregivers, as well as critical support services, such as nutrition and
transportation, for older persons at risk of being prematurely or
unnecessarily institutionalized. AoA also administers programs that
protect the rights of vulnerable and at-risk older persons and educates
them and their communities about the dangers of elder abuse and consumer
fraud. Other OAA programs offer older persons opportunities to enhance
their health and service their communities through employment and
volunteer programs. |
