How to Find Services Specific to Older Persons

As you begin searching for vision-related rehabilitation services, it's helpful to review the overall network of services for older adults.

Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) develop, coordinate and provide local services that enable older adults to remain at home and in their communities:

• Telephone reassurance
• Homemaker/chore service
• Transportation
• Information and referral
• Meals on Wheels
• Friendly visiting
• Legal assistance
• Case management
• Senior centers
• Adult day care and respite services

The national Eldercare Locator [link opens in new window] is a searchable database to help you find local agencies and resources that enable older adults to live independently in their home communities.
