Deadline- 18th march, 2013
The Administration for Community Living(ACL) is offering funding opportunity for Eldercare Locator program. The aim of this program is to provide users with the information and resources they need that will help older persons live independently and safely in their homes and communities for as long as possible.
ACL will hold a competition for a new cooperative agreement to operate the Locator. The Locator is a call center with live agents helping older adults and their families and caregivers find their way through the maze of services for seniors by linking to a trustworthy network of national, State, Tribal and community organizations and services through a nationally recognized toll-free number. The Locator also provides seniors and caregivers who require more in depth support the opportunity to speak with highly trained eldercare consultants who can better triage the situation. This new program announcement seeks to advance the Locator to better serve current and future older adults and those who care for them.
