Elders in Action is pleased to offer this guide to caregiving and other aging-related resources on the Internet.

It is our hope that this guide will save you time in researching caregiving and topics related to aging. Please be aware that this listing does not include every site available and that the information changes rapidly. We hope you find this guide useful!!

If you have questions, or need further information and assistance, please call Elders in Action 503-235-5474. As a consumer advocacy group, our number one priority is to assure that the needs of older people in the community are met. Our Personal Advocate Services provides trained volunteers to advocate for elders, in the Portland metropolitan area, who are experiencing problems with housing, health care, or who have been victims of crime or abuse. Individual problem solving assistance is available through this service.
