This is a great way to alleviate some of the financial pressures on aging parents. We have found that many seniors don’t know how to ask about this discount, so we wanted to share these tips on how to help locate these local resources.

1. Community Centers and Senior Organizations
Senior Centers: Many communities have senior centers that provide resources and referrals to local businesses offering discounts for seniors.
Non-profit Organizations: Local non-profits focused on seniors often maintain directories of businesses offering senior discounts.
2. Online Directories and Reviews
Google Search: Use search terms like "senior discounts" or "senior rates" along with the service you need (e.g., "plumber," "electrician," "house cleaning").
Yelp and Angie’s List: Check reviews and filter search results for businesses that mention senior discounts or rates.
3. Membership Discounts
AAA and AARP: These organizations often provide lists of businesses that offer discounts to their members, including discounts on services.
Local Retail Memberships: Some local retail stores or supermarkets offer senior discount programs and may also have information on local service providers.
4. Social Media and Local Forums
Facebook Groups: Join local community groups or neighborhood associations where members often share recommendations for service providers offering senior rates.
Nextdoor: This neighborhood-focused social media platform can also be a good resource for finding local service providers.
By utilizing these resources and strategies, you can find local service providers who offer senior rates, helping to reduce costs and support aging parents with their everyday needs.
