Questions families ask
Why not list every local phone number?
Local office numbers change often. We list the official national entry points that always lead to the current local office, and give you a worksheet to record what you find.
Is this only for older adults?
It focuses on services for older adults and their caregivers; several entry points also serve adults with disabilities.
Does it cost anything?
No, it is free.
