A Message From the Board of Commissioners

Dear Friends: We’re pleased to present to you the 2018 Dauphin County Resource DIRECTORY for the Caregiver, Aging, and Disabled, a comprehensive handbook for services and opportunities available for adults 50 and over, caregivers, and persons with disabilities.

From information about adult daycare and home care services to volunteer opportunities and Medicare, this wide-ranging guide provides you with a host of resources that can help improve your quality of life.

Dauphin County’s Area Agency on Aging also offers a variety of resources and programs for adults age 60 and over, including one-onone counseling services for Medicare enrollment, food vouchers to farmers markets, elder-abuse protection and investigation, and more.

For more information about these programs, call the agency at (717) 780-6130 or visit www.dauphincounty.org.

In addition to these services, On-Line Publishers will host its annual 50plus EXPO in Dauphin County on May 2 at the Hershey Lodge. It’s another great opportunity to learn about programs in our area and to speak directly with service providers. Visit www.50plusexpopa.com or call (717) 285-1350 for more information.

Our goal is to help you stay healthy and live life to the fullest, and we hope the resources in this guide will help you.

Very truly yours,

Jeff Haste Chairman

Mike Pries Vice Chairman

George P. Hartwick III Secretary www.ResourceDirectoryPA.com

A Message From the Publisher Housing … insurance … healthcare … legal services …

These are just a few of the numerous puzzle pieces necessary to build a secure quality of life for people in our community who are aging, disabled, or caring for a loved one.

These “puzzle pieces” — professional services, advocacy organizations, living communities, and many more — are out there; it’s just a matter of finding them and locking them together so that the larger picture of a life well lived can begin to take shape.

The Dauphin County Resource DIRECTORY for the Caregiver, Aging, and Disabled is a free resource intended to bring those scattered pieces closer to hand.

An extensive source of local, regional, and national information, the Resource DIRECTORY connects you to an abundance of organizations, businesses, and services for Dauphin Countians who are over age 50, who are caring for a loved one, or who have disabilities.

Within its hundreds of easy-to-read listings, you’ll find options for physicians, veterans services, energy assistance, tax help, advocacy, home improvement, and others.

Plus, the Resource DIRECTORY contains contact information for Dauphin County police departments, post offices, and emergency services, as well as county, state, and federal government phone numbers for your convenience.

The Resource DIRECTORY is available in print and online at www.

ResourceDirectoryPA.com, so it’s accessible whenever and wherever you need it.

The Dauphin County Resource DIRECTORY for the Caregiver, Aging, and Disabled would not be possible without the financial support and community dedication of its sponsors and advertisers.

We thank them for helping us “collect the pieces” so that people across Dauphin County can access the resources needed to create a fully supported life for themselves or their loved ones.

Sincerely,

Donna K. Anderson, Publisher 2
