...to the Update page. As we find information worthy enough to be called a Senior 2 Senior update, it will appear on this page. It, of course, must be relevant to senior citizens and senior caregivers.

1) Two arenas senior citizens overlook are the local university and local hospital. Granted not all universities offer a law degree and not all hospitals are teaching hospitals. However, you may be one of the lucky people who lives within driving distance of one or both of these institutions.

If you one or both of these facilities exist in your area, they most likely offer free services, clinics and/or advice. Use them.

2) Senior citizens, whether renting or owning their dwelling, are eligible for property tax relief. Type in: "senior citizen property tax assistance" (without the quote marks) as your search words in http://www.google.com and see what information you can find for your home state.
