In many parts of the United States, you can dial 2-1-1, a toll-free phone line, to get information on local social services, including services for seniors. The 2-1-1 line, funded largely by United Way and other donors, links callers to local centers that provide referrals to organizations that help with housing, healthcare, in-home care, meals, counseling, and more. The service will eventually be available in all states. To find out if it's up and running in your parent's area, check its website.
