Directory of Agencies and Organizations for Geriatric Clinicians
|
While this list represents a comprehensive guide to organizations that address the clinical care needs of older people, it is not a resource of all social service agencies and organizations assisting older citizens. If you have questions that do not specifically relate to one of the following organizations, please contact your state and/or area agency on aging as listed by the Administration on Aging (AOA). These agencies provide information on, and refer callers to, local services for senior citizens. To locate state and area agencies on aging, visit the AOA Web site at http://www.aoa.dhhs.gov/agingsites/state.html or call the Eldercare Locator service (1-800-677-1116) operated by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging. |
