The Eldercare Locator Database API

The Eldercare Locator is a searchable database that allows a user to search via zip code or city/state for agencies at the state and local levels that provide services to older adults. An Application Programming Interface (API) has been developed for 3rd party developers to interface their applications with the Eldercare Locator data.

As of 11/30/2017 the eldercare API connection URL is https://eldercare.acl.gov/WebServices/EldercareData/ec_search.asmx
