Supplement to the National

Aging; The Eldercare Locator
Summary: The Administration for
Community Living (ACL) is announcing
supplemental funding for the Eldercare
Locator program. The Eldercare Locator
program helps older adults and their
families and caregivers find their way
through the maze of services for older
adults by linking to a trustworthy
network of national, State, Tribal and
community organizations and services
through a nationally recognized toll-free
number. The Eldercare Locator also
provides older adults and caregivers
who require more in depth support the
opportunity to speak with highly
trained eldercare consultants who can
better triage the situation. The purpose
of this announcement is to award
supplemental funds to the National
Association of Area Agencies on Aging
to support additional staff and enhanced
educational tools to better serve callers.
Program Name: Eldercare Locator.
Award Amount: $134,452.
Budget Period: 6/1/2017 to 5/31/2018.
Award Type: Cooperative Agreement.

authority for grants under this notice is
contained in Title IV of the Older
Americans Act (OAA) (42 U.S.C. 3032),
as amended by the Older Americans Act
Amendments of 2006. Statutory
authority specifically for the Eldercare
Locator is contained in Title II of the

I. Program Description
The Administration on Aging, an
agency of the U.S. Administration for
Community Living, has been funding
the Eldercare Locator (the Locator) since
1991. The Eldercare Locator links older
persons and their caregivers to resources
through a nationally recognized toll-free
number, 1–800–677–1116 and Web site
(www.eldercare.gov). The goal 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.
The Eldercare Locator call center
utilizes live agents to help callers find
their way through the maze of services
for older adults by linking to a
trustworthy network of national, State,

Tribal and community organizations
and services. In 2011, an additional
feature was added to assist older adults
and caregivers who require more in
depth support the opportunity to speak
with highly trained eldercare
consultants who can better triage the
situation.
II. Justification for the Supplemental
Funding
Over the past several years there has
been a steady increase in the number of
callers to the Eldercare Locator growing
from 180,000 calls in 2011 to over
308,000 in 2016. The calls are becoming
more complex and requiring additional
time to resolve. There is a need to
increase the number of staff available to
handle complex issues and increase call
volumes. In addition, there is a need to
update and enhance the educational
tools and resources, such as tip sheets
and brochures, available from the
Eldercare Locator to better educate
callers about eldercare services and
resources.
