Community Resources

Identify three resources in your neighborhood that serve the elderly, disabled, or chronically ill population. Complete sentences must be used to complete all sections. Include a reference page that shows where you found the data. As you type, the boxes will enlarge.

Because this is knowledge that you may utilize at work, it is best to look into your local community. If the services are limited, you may choose to broaden your search to the county or nearest city, depending on your location.
