Helpful Referrals for Seniors
Obtaining assistance from organizations that are dedicated to the needs of senior citizens will help you get the most out of life. Consider this list just a beginning – while many of these national organizations will be able to refer you to agencies and businesses in your local community, you may also look up “senior centers” for your city or town in your telephone book or on the Internet.
