A Message From the Publisher When you or a loved one needs guidance, care, assistance, or a change in housing, the passage in front of you — the journey toward finding these resources — can look like an intimidating and winding path.

This is why we create the Resource DIRECTORY for the Caregiver, Aging, and Disabled each year for your county. For those in our community who are aging, disabled, or caring for a loved one, there are often numerous stops along the road that leads to a more secure quality of life.

The professional services, advocacy organizations, living communities, and other helpful services you need are out there, and we hope this free directory enhances and simplifies your search.

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

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

Plus, the Resource DIRECTORY contains contact information for Chester 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 Chester 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.

The path toward the care and assistance you seek may be winding, but it doesn’t need to be traveled alone and unsupported. We thank the businesses and organizations included in this directory for helping the Chester County community access the resources they need to travel a clear route forward.

Sincerely,

Donna K. Anderson, Publisher www.ResourceDirectoryPA.com
