Senior Information and Assistance
Senior Information and Assistance offers persons 60 years of age and
older access to the complex world of services and benefit programs by

well as providing information and/or referral to other agencies.
Assistance is available with completing applications, scheduling
appointments, and follow-up. Appointments may be made to meet with
the I&A coordinator at the office or, if you are homebound, in your home.
Outreach services are available once per quarter at the senior centers
and nutrition sites. Call 301-334-9431 ext. 6168 or 6178 (toll-free 1-888-877-8403)
