Senior Services Information
and
Assistance

Senior services information and assistance is not always that easy to find when we don’t know where to look. Am I right?

Have you had the same problem? Maybe even with something as simple was finding a reliable mechanic to fix your car?

Here’s some good news. There is one stop shopping for us seniors!

When we’re looking for senior services information and assistance, the number one place to start is AARP.

Why?

Because AARP is the largest most comprehensive senior services information and assistance source for everything we seniors need. Nothing else compares.

What Can You Find
at
 AARP?

There is a bounty of information and assistance just waiting for us here!

Today, we’re just going to be telling you more about The American Association of Retired People, AARP, because it is like one stop shopping. Most of the information and specific assistance we seniors search for can be found on their website.

At the AARP website, not only will you find almost everything for seniors assistance, and you’ll find out where to go to get the assistance you desire. It’s like having a best friend you rely on who can send you where you need to go.

You don’t have to pick up a phone or talk to automated machines that make most of us seniors go absolutely nuts (Remember when a person always answered a phone and directed your call accordingly, if they couldn’t answer your questions themselves? I truly miss that….).

Getting the Most
from

FREE
Monthly News Letter

One of the very best things about AARP is almost everyone knows who they are. Mostly, however, we just don’t realize how many services and types of assistance they provide.

They even have a FREE monthly newsletter that members can sign up for which has all kinds of great tips for us seniors. You’ll find entertainment, beauty and style tips, personal advice, online games and more in your inbox every issue.

How Much Does It
Cost to Join?

Currently, membership is only $12 for the first year. $16 a year after that. If you start using the AARP discounts available to members, you’ll mostly likely save that in your first week or two. Yes, really. There are AARP discounts in so many places.

Are we trying to sell you a membership?

No.

We’re tired (as we suppose you are too) of people telling us how great something is and then they want to sell you whatever they have so that they can make a buck. Right?

Hey, that’s the way of the world and there’s nothing really wrong with it if they are telling us the truth. It’s just darned annoying.

None of us here at weloveourgranny.com get no commissions for our referrals to this great organization. We just want all our senior readers to benefit in every way possible. We want our readers save as much as they can on quality products and services. And, we want to help make sure you can find all the Senior Services Information and Assistance you desire.

At weloveourgranny.com our commitment to you is that we try to find every way we can to make your senior years the best years of all.

AARP pays us no commissions or fees. They are just a great place for us seniors to easily find so much of the Senior Services Information and Assistance we seniors are looking for. And, we want to make sure you know about them.

Is this the only place we need to go to get everything we are looking for?

Probably not.

But, you can find most of the best Senior Services Information and Assistance here.
