Local and National
Senior and Caregiver Resources
There are many national and local resources available to caregivers and seniors who choose to age in place, putting off the need for senior housing and a retirement community to ensure independent living.
These resources include programs and associations dedicated to helping seniors and their families in every aspect of their lives.
​Whether help with taxes, transportation, medical insurance, information on caregiver services, home modifications, or determining government benefits eligibility, there are lots of great resources that can assist in anything that is needed, both nationally and locally.
