The purpose of Search. Find. Help. is to help organizational leaders and staff find resources they can use to support older adults and caregivers during public health emergencies. These resources include interventions, policies, programs, and strategies addressing social isolation, managing chronic conditions, elder abuse and neglect, caregiver support, delayed medical care, and emergency preparedness. Many of the resources included on this site are designed for public health emergencies; others have been adapted for or are applicable to outbreaks such as COVID-19 (for example, because they are available remotely).
