Information & Assistance Services
The East Central Senior Resource Center, as part of the statewide Senior LinkAge Line® network puts you in touch with community-based serves that can help older adults find ways to remain independent in their own homes.  It can also help caregivers find ways to get a well-deserved break or services.

When you call the Senior LinkAge Line® you will talk to a friendly, trained professional who can help you locate a variety of services, like home delivered meals, home health care, transportation, home repair, recreation, legal assistance and more.

In addition, Senior LinkAge Line® staff provide one-on-one assistance with accessing prescription drug programs, understanding your medical bills, insurance claims and Medicare coverage. 

Our staff's objective and confidential help is not legal advice.  It's unbiased, individualized assistance.  Home visits can be arranged.

There are no fees for these and other Senior LinkAge Line® services provided by the East Central Senior Resource Center.  Donations are encouraged to help cover project costs.

Resource Guide:  A Listing of Services for Older Adults in East Central Minnesota

Each year the East Central Senior Resource Center publishes a resource guide chocked full of information about services available to seniors in the region.  Copies of the resource guide are available through the center or at many locations throughout the region.

The guide, supported in part by paid advertisement offers local service providers an opportunity to financially support the well-recognized publication.  Service provider listings remain free of charge as a public service of the center.
