(NAPSI)—Americans are living longer these days. The number of older
adults is expected to reach 73 million by 2030.
With 30 percent of Americans serving in a caregiving
role, it is important to remember that caring for a loved one can be both
rewarding and difficult. Often, caregivers don’t know where to turn for
advice and assistance. That’s where the Eldercare Locator—a
program of the U.S. Administration on Aging and administered by the National
Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a)—Comes in. By connecting older
adults and their caregivers to local resources and support, the Eldercare
Locator makes life a bit easier all around. The Eldercare Locator connects
older adults and their caregivers to local services and supports across the
spectrum of need, including in-home and community-based services,
transportation and healthy aging.
What It Offers
Some of the Eldercare Locator’s more popular publications are:
• “Before You Give Up the Keys: Create a Roadmap for
Transportation Independence”
• “Older Adults and Medication Safety”
• “You Gave, Now Save: Guide to Benefits for Seniors”
• “Living Well with Dementia in the Community: Resources and
Support.”
