Our Directory
We understand that accurate information about local programs and services is essential to effectively managing your health care or wellness or the health care of a friend, spouse or family member. This information is often hard to find, particularly in a time of crisis. That’s why we devote so much of our effort and funding to our service provider directory. Our directory contains almost 20,000 resources available to all Virginians—whether you live in a waterfront town on the Eastern Shore or the coal mining community of Big Stone Gap in the Southwest. Area Agencies on Aging, caregiver support groups, domestic violence shelters, geriatricians, insurance counseling and senior centers are just a fraction of what you’ll find here.
SeniorNavigator’s service provider directory contains all of the resources found on this website. The Quick Search uses the topic you request and your ZIP Code to determine your search results. From a customized search page, you may further refine your search with additional filters (i.e. programs that accept Medicare or serve military) or larger search areas (i.e. Metropolitan area or planning district).
When you conduct a search, results are listed alphabetically in the following categories: Local Services (including direct matches to your search topic and other related services), Articles and Related Links.
If you are searching for a service offered by your community’s sponsor, you will see their information displayed first.
Data Collection
As you use our directory, you’ll notice that for each resource we provide more than just a name, telephone number, and address. Our goal is to give you enough information to make an informed decision about whether a service is right for you or your loved one. To do this, we adhere to data standards recommended by the Administration on Aging and the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems.
Information Partners
The SeniorNavigator.org database is a work in progress—our data set changes daily as we learn of emerging services or changes in existing programs. The data collection is challenging—especially in the constantly evolving health and human services industry. Our staff is passionate about bringing you accurate information about available community resources. We travel many paths and keep digging to discover the most comprehensive information about every program in our database. We scour local newspapers such as The Fincastle Herald or The Coalfield Progress to find new programs and services. We survey thousands of organizations monthly and quarterly and provide online updating capabilities.
We are fortunate that so many organizations, professionals and volunteers lend their experience and expertise to the creation and maintenance of the service provider directory. In addition to our Sponsors, Partners and Endorsers our information providers include:
- Area Agencies on Aging
- Medical Society of Virginia
- Virginia Statewide Information and Referral System
- Virginia Department for the Aging
- Virginia Department of Health
- Virginia Department of Health Professions
- Virginia Department of Social Services
- Virginia Health Information
Most importantly, we also rely on our SeniorNavigator Centers and you to keep us updated on changing services in Virginia’s neighborhoods and communities. We always welcome comments or suggestions about how to improve the directory. Tell us if you find what you need, or if you couldn’t find the help you needed. Your feedback helps us improve our service to you and your community.
