“Seniors have a lot of options, programs can change from year to year, and frankly, they can get overwhelmed quickly,” said Darlene DiCarlo, director of the Office on Aging. he said in a presentation at the meeting. “Our goal is to make all available information available to the public, answer questions and help people make informed decisions.”
