The Database

The Eldercare Locator database is designed to link older adults and their caregivers to unbiased information and assistance resources at the state and community level. To accomplish this goal, the Administration on Aging (AoA) works in partnership with State and Area Agencies on Aging funded by the Older Americans Act (OAA). These agencies provide AoA with the information resources located in the Eldercare Locator database. The database includes Area Agencies on Aging, State Units on Aging, aging information and referral programs, Aging and Disability Resources Centers, and special purpose information and assistance resources for legal services, elder abuse prevention, health insurance counseling, and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program.

To ensure the integrity of the Eldercare Locator service, AoA does NOT accept unsolicited requests from organizations to be included in the database.
