As a reminder we are all about sharing and learning about senior resources and aging issues through the Internet and ultimately connecting older consumers and their families with the resources and service providers they need so they can age well. Surfing the Internet to research is great but remember to use the tried and true technique of picking up the phone and calling. And if your search involved the SeniorsResourceGuide.com network of websites please let the provider or organization know that. Have a nice day!
