Answers to many of your health and aging questions are as simple as the click of the mouse when you use SeniorNavigator.org, a free, non-profit public service that connects seniors and caregivers with local services available in communities across Virginia.
The Web site features over 19,000 programs and services that are consolidated into one easy access point and searchable by City/County or ZIP Code.
These resources address health and aging issues, financial concerns, legal questions, housing and assisted living facilities and more. Additionally, there are hundreds of up-to-date articles and over 2,000 links to other aging support Web sites.
In addition, SeniorNavigator offers an "Ask the Expert" feature on the Web site. Consumers are invited to anonymously ask questions that are particularly challenging and for which they have not been able to find an answer. In response, SeniorNavigator sends the questions to one or more of 57 experts who volunteer for the organization and an answer will be delivered within several days.
For those of you who like to find information the good old-fashioned way, SeniorNavigator is not just online; it is in your community too.
Across Virginia, hospitals, libraries, clinics, Area Agencies on Aging, schools, senior centers, even police stations and churches have volunteered to serve as SeniorNavigator Centers. Specifically designed for individuals without a home computer or Internet access, all of the community-based Centers have trained staff who use the SeniorNavigator Web site to assist seniors and caregivers in obtaining information about support services.
