Go to www.altavista.com/web/adv

Enter your city or county in top line and then in the phrase section "Area agency for aging"  This will hopefully take you to a site for trhe local senior services agency.   You can also check the phone book for the senior center in your area and ask to speak with the director or a social worker for advice.  They can tell you about this kind of services and also about similiar services paid by Medicare and other programs.
