That's why we created the AARP Friendly Voice program—a trained, caring group of volunteers standing by ready to chat, listen, or just say hello.

It's easy. Request a call by dialing AARP at 1-888-281-0145 for English or 1-888-497-4108 for Spanish, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. local time.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

“The Maryland State Dental Association referred Dr. Chaudhary when I really needed a dentist to help my homebound mother, who has Alzheimer’s disease. She was amazing on how she handled my mother and her equipment was very impressive.”

- Joe Perron (Family) (Annapolis, MD) “Senior Smile helped me when I needed to be fitted for new dentures. They were very efficient in giving me my smile back. I am really ecstatic about my teeth and glad that they exist.”

- Billie Cook (Resident) (Frederick, MD)
