Our group has discovered that there is an amazing array of services available which help people remain in their homes as they age. One of the big problems is helping people find that info. Older folks tend not to use the Internet. And their adult children may not think of looking for such information until it's too late. Or they may just assume that moving out is the only solution.
My first foray onto the Web to find out about support for aging at home turned up the following for Connecticut and Southwestern Connecticut, which is where our church is located:
Area Agency on Aging – umbrella

Southwestern area agency on aging
http://www.swcaa.org/
Administration on Aging (fed gov.)

Please post any information you have or challenges you're facing with this topic.
