Information and Assistance

Every county and tribe has an aging unit to help older Wisconsin residents in locating services. Information and Assistance helps older adults and their families determine their needs, and connects them with specific services.

County or Tribal Aging Unit staff keep up-to-date information on a variety of services. Printed material such as senior housing directories, nursing home listings, home care agency information is often available.

Aging units are often referred to as "Commission on Aging," "Aging Resource Center, " or "Department on Aging." They can be reached by phone, mail or visiting their office. Some can be contacted by e-mail and have websites that can be accessed through the Internet. Contact your County/Tribal Aging Unit to learn about the services available in your area.
