The American Association for Retired Persons (AARP) website is an excellent resources if you’re looking up to keep up with senior/eldercare news, facts and figures.

The US Department of Health and Human Services is another rich resource you can tap into as a senior.

Resources you can access here include:

• Elder justice issues
• Resource locators which are in some ways similar to the Eldercare Directory
