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 year there has been a steady increase in the number of callers to the Eldercare Locator growing from 180,000 calls in 2011 to over 280,000 in just 5 years. The calls are becoming more complex taking longer to resolve leading to much longer waiting times. There is a need to increase the number of staff available to handle the higher demand. In addition, there is a need to enhance the educational tools and resources, such as tip sheets and brochures, available from the Eldercare Locator to better educate older adults and caregivers about eldercare services and resources.
