A Message From the Commissioner Welcome to the 2014 Dauphin County Resource DIRECTORY! Consider this guide to be your “go-to” publication for services and opportunities for adults age 50 and over, caregivers, and persons with disabilities in Dauphin County. Whether you’re in need of home care services, volunteer opportunities, consumer protection, or Medicare, you will find it here.

It’s no secret that Dauphin County is home to world-class health care facilities, a host of community services, and recreational opportunities. There is no shortage of things to do and resources to help you.

One such resource is On-Line Publishers’ 50plus EXPO, to be held on May 27 at the Hershey Lodge. Visit www.50plusExpoPA.com for more details. Another great resource, offered by Dauphin County Area Agency on Aging and Mid-Penn Legal Services, is Older & Wiser®—a series of free informative seminars on important topics such as living wills, health care facilities, and powers of attorney. Call the county’s Area Agency on Aging at (717) 780-6130 or visit www.DauphinCounty.org for details.

By connecting you to the services you or a loved one may need, we hope to improve the quality of life in the region. Nothing is more important to our quality of life than the fostering of safe and healthy families and communities.

A Message From the Publisher

Welcome to the 2014 Dauphin County Resource DIRECTORY for the Caregiver, Aging, and Disabled!

With hundreds of listings, the Resource DIRECTORY is a free-yetpriceless source of information for Dauphin County residents who are over age 50 as well as those who are caring for a loved one. It also includes valuable information for people with disabilities or those caring for them.

The Resource DIRECTORY is available wherever you are, whenever you need it, online at www.50plusSeniorNewsPA.com. And for the many people who prefer their information in print, we also publish the Resource DIRECTORY as a hard-copy edition.

In either format, you’ll find that Dauphin County offers an abundance of organizations and services to meet your needs. Flip through the easy-to-read pages to find options for living communities, healthcare providers, legal counsel, food and nutrition benefits, home repair assistance, and so much more.

In addition to your many local resources, there are state and federal programs available that can provide assistance as well, and their information is also included within the pages of the Resource DIRECTORY. Without the financial support and community commitment of the Resource DIRECTORY’s sponsors and advertisers, we would be unable to produce this informational resource. We sincerely thank them for their contributions.

Sincerely,

Donna K. Anderson, Publisher
