A Message From the Publisher What you’re holding in your hands—or viewing online—may be a book, but it’s more than that. It’s also a key, a special key designed to open multiple doors. When searching for assistance or information, we often know the resources we need are out there, but we don’t know where to start looking. The Chester County Resource DIRECTORY for the Caregiver, Aging, and Disabled is created to unlock the doors to programs and services available in your own community, to ease you through whatever doorway begins your path toward answers and help. An extensive source of information, the Resource DIRECTORY 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 have disabilities. Within its hundreds of easy-to-read listings, you’ll find options for housing, physicians, veterans services, legal counsel, advocacy, home improvement, and more. In addition to your many local resources, there are also state and federal programs available that can provide assistance. Plus, we include 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 both in print and online (at www.50plusLifePA.com), so it’s accessible whenever and wherever you need it. We sincerely thank the Resource DIRECTORY’s sponsors for their financial support and dedication to their friends and neighbors. Without them, this “key” could not have been fashioned to unlock the doors to so many types of resources in Chester County. Sincerely,

Donna K. Anderson, Publisher
