Senior Information and Assistance
The Senior Information and Assistance Program provide a single point of entry into the aging network system to obtain information concerning benefits and programs for older Marylanders, their families and caregivers. Through this program, seniors receive information to make informed choices about services, referrals to appropriate agencies, assistance in obtaining services and benefits, and follow-up. The program promotes awareness of services for the elderly through outreach and public education, and provides information about health care, Medicare/health insurance, in-home aide services, transportation, housing, legal services, senior centers, retirement communities, prescription drugs and more. There are approximately 120 Senior Information and Assistance sites located across the State.
These services are available to all veterans age 60 years and older, their family members (regardless of age) and their caregivers.
To access specific information on any of the services supported through the Maryland Department of Aging any veteran (age 60 or older), their family members or caregivers should retrieve the Department of Aging website: www.mdoa.state.md.us.
