ACL Launches Redesigned Eldercare Locator Website
The Administration for Community Living is pleased to launch
our newly redesigned Eldercare Locator website. Located online at eldercare.acl.gov,
the updated website makes it easier for older adults and their caregivers
to find essential aging resources. New features include:
- A mobile-optimized design
to easily access the Eldercare Locator on a computer, phone, or tablet
- A geographical search bar
allows visitors to search for local aging resources from any page on
the site
- Caregiver
Corner with answers to the most frequently asked questions
the Eldercare Locator Call Center receives from caregivers
- A new “Learn More About”
section that provides information on popular topics like
transportation, support services, elder rights, housing, health, and
insurance and benefits
- A centralized location that
enables older adults and caregivers access Eldercare Locator brochures
on topics important to their health and well-being
For more than 25 years, the Eldercare Locator Call Center and
website have served as critical tools to assist older adults and those who
support them in navigating the range of services and options available to
seniors. In 2017, more than 470,000 visitors accessed the Eldercare
Locator’s website. The Call Center receives more than 350,000 calls every
year and answered its 4 millionth call earlier this year.
We encourage you to explore the new website. We will continue
to expand and update our resources to provide valuable information for
older adults and their caregivers to serve our vital and ever growing aging
population.
Launched in 1991, the Eldercare Locator is a national
information and referral resource providing support to consumers across the
spectrum of issues affecting older Americans.
