SENIOR RESOURCES

A joint project of National Association of the Deaf and Deaf Seniors of America

Posted February 13, 2008

To refer others to this page, please use:
http://www.nad.org/SeniorResources

At the 2007 DSA Conference in Orlando, FL, this first-ever ‘Senior Resources’ listing was announced as a joint DSA-NAD project with the involvement of the NAD Senior Citizens Section (NAD SCS).

We are grateful to Amanda Boxer, daughter of Woody & Mary Sue Boxer of Maryland, who volunteered at NAD during the summer of 2007 to do initial data-gathering for this listing.  In addition, we are grateful to Joanne Williams of Nevada; this directory is also the result of her early efforts with NAD SCS. Thank you, Amanda and Joanne! 

If you wish to add a senior housing facility or social club to this listing, or if you wish to make corrections, please send email to www.nad.org/ContactUs (be sure to mention ‘Senior Resources updates’). Updates will be posted on a periodic basis.
