Seniors in assisted living facilities and those still able to live at home have access to a wealth of resources provided by state and federal agencies and nonprofit organizations. These examples of what’s available show how seniors can get support if they’re in dispute with their care provider and get medical help if they qualify for VA assistance. They also show how able-bodied seniors can connect with their communities.

| The Elkton Center | (410) 996-5295 | Elkton residents aged 60 and over meet at The Elkton Center Mondays to Thursdays to participate in a range of social and recreational activities for the body and the mind. There are also educational programs covering senior-specific concerns, such as fall prevention methods. Mornings always begin with coffee and conversations, followed by exercise classes, such as chair Zumba, then some games, including bingo. |
| Volunteer Cecil | (410) 996-8439 | Volunteer Cecil is the local Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). It helps Elkton's retirees give back to their community through voluntary work with an array of nonprofit organizations and state agencies. These include the Ray of Hope Mission Center and Cecil County Public Library. As it's an RSVP partner, volunteers benefit from additional insurance during their working hours and may be eligible for discounts from some organizations associated with the program. |
| Elkton Vet Center | (410) 392-4485 | Open on weekdays during normal working hours, the Elkton Vet Center provides limited medical services for the city's U.S. military veterans and their dependents. Most of the center's work revolves around counseling, particularly for those who have suffered bereavement and issues related to their time in the military, including military sexual trauma.

| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (410) 996-8429 | Seniors residing in assisted living facilities who have concerns about their care should contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman.

The ombudsman can also investigate complaints registered by the families of residents and third parties. |
