Community Senior Resources

Using my 15+ years of Gerontology experience, I have posted links on this page to various groups and organizations whose primary goal is to support the needs of the Senior Community throughout the Charlotte-Mecklenburg/Union County Area.  Having this page truly makes us "unique" and although we at APG have developed close relationships with these groups and the people who work within them, we are not bound by any agreement, written or verbal, to use or promote their services.  Instead, we consider this list to be dynamic as links may be added or deleted as necessary in order for us to provide you, our valued client and friend, the most current Eldercare related information to help you achieve your primary goal - a Healthy, Safe and Happy Retirement!

Please feel free to contact me at 704.708.5001 if you want to discuss a particular company or services they provide in more detail.  It would be my pleasure!  Maria Romeo - APG Matthews Office Manager
