Dear Friends,

I invite you to look through the 2023 edition of the Montgomery County Seniors’ Resource Guide. It includes information about programs that promote healthy aging, provide needed assistance, support aging-in-place, and much more.

Starting with the Table of Contents, you might find some things you’d like to pursue now and learn about potential options for the future.

Each page includes the phone number of our Aging and Disability Services, (240) 777-3000. Please call us if you have any questions –our staff can help identify options that may be available and appropriate for your situation.

This Guide is possible through a longstanding partnership between Montgomery County government and the Beacon Newspapers. By working together to promote local resources, we help enable residents to live and thrive in Montgomery County throughout their lives.

Sincerely,

y, MarcElrich
