Social Services For The Elderly

Many social services exist to help you depending upon your, your family, or loved ones' needs, eligibility criteria, finances, and access. Government, private for-profit, and non-profit service organizations are available. There are directories that are also available, either on-line or through your local telephone information help lines. Social service agencies, your doctor, or hospital social workers can also put you in contact with the proper individuals or agencies.

Although most Americans would like to live the rest of their lives in their homes, only 15% do this. Social Services, Home Care, Hospice, and Home Modifications services are available, and planning will help you remain in your community and home.
