There are several avenues you can take to find out about community resources. One of the first places you should connect with is your local Area Agency on Aging office ( www.n4a.org). You might also check out the blue pages of your local telephone directory – many county agencies are listed there.

Additionally, your local government could very well have a department listing that includes all county government offices. Here you might find a department that could be of service to you. And finally, some counties put together an information and referral directory that is a comprehensive, online information and referral directory for services in and supporting your particular county.
