Are you looking for more information about what’s available in your community regarding resources, services, or things to do for older adults?  Getting in touch with your local Elder Services Organization or Aging Service Access Point (ASAP) is your best bet as a first step.  Unlike Senior Centers and Councils On Aging, which are specific to each town, Elder Services Organizations cover regions and/or county districts.
