Local aging services
Build a local help plan, walk the house, keep one medicine list, and rehearse the VA call.
Kinse local aging services is a worksheet for families. Build a local help plan, walk an aging-at-home checklist, and keep a medicine list. Call 1-800-677-1116 for the Eldercare Locator. Kinse does not invent agency names, is not a medical provider, and is not 911.
Find local aging services for families
If this is urgent, call local emergency services. Kinse does not dispatch. Eldercare Locator (1-800-677-1116) finds local aging services. It is not 911.
A ZIP is enough for a call plan. Add city and state when you want the official agency list. Agency names stay on the locator until an official directory API is available.
Locator home stays at eldercare.acl.gov if you want to browse without a ZIP.

Common questions
What is the Eldercare Locator?
It is the official U.S. Administration for Community Living lookup for Area Agencies on Aging and related local services. This Kinse page does not invent agency names. It builds a call plan from those official categories, including what to ask when you call.
Is there a phone number?
Yes. Call 1-800-677-1116 for help finding local aging services. That number is the Eldercare Locator, not Kinse and not 911. Have a ZIP ready so the person on the line can point you to a local agency.
Can I search from this page?
Yes. A ZIP is enough for a call plan. Add city and state when you want the official agency list. Aging-at-home, a writable medicine list, and a VA call script stay on this page. Official agency names stay on the Eldercare Locator until an official directory API is available. Kinse will not guess an agency name.
Is this 911?
No. If someone is in danger, call local emergency services. Kinse does not dispatch. Eldercare Locator finds services such as rides, meals, and local agencies. It is not an emergency line.
Is this a medical provider?
No. The medicine list is a family worksheet. It is not dosing advice and not a Kinse reminder schedule. Post who to call, including Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222, next to the list. Kinse does not change a prescription from this page.
Where do nursing-home stars go?
The Care Compare finder, at /tools/nursing-home-quality. That is a different tool. This page finds local aging services. It does not show CMS star ratings.
