Carol, thank you for highlighting the Eldercare Locator in your article. It is great that you have used the service, found it helpful and are spreading the news to others. In the article you noted that you would love a national list of Area Agencies on Aging. This is available in the 2006-07 National Directory of Aging Resources which is produced by n4a and the Eldercare Locator. The directory also lists State Units on Aging, Tribal aging programs, AoA regional offices and more. For this and other useful materials, please visit the Eldercare Locator Resource Center at www.n4a.org/elresources. Thanks again.

The Eldercare Locator is the first step to finding resources for older adults in any U.S. community.
Thanks, Jonetta. You helped me with a column a couple of years ago. I should have emailed you. I was emailing and calling all over trying to find a national resource for AAA. I missed the one you mentioned, but will make note of it for future reference, as I sing the praises of AAA and the Locator all the time.
Best,
Carol
