We are a small group of seasoned master degreed geriatric social workers and licensed psychotherapists. We each work with only a small number of families, remaining accessible in what is a highly personal service. Collectively we have eased the stress for thousands of families over the years. 

Aging Network Services began in 1982 in Bethesda, Maryland, when providing private geriatric social work services was a new idea. As pioneers in the field, we are often quoted in the press, interviewed, and sought out as educators. 

The older generation, middle generation, and younger generation are our clients. They come to us with life situations such as coping with dementia, selecting a well-suited place to live or finding ways to stay safely at home, as well as short- and long-range planning. 

They also come to us with emotional issues like loss and grief, caregiving stress, family relationships, challenging personalities, anxiety, and depression.

You may call us for a free 30-minute introductory session; together, we will discuss your particular needs and how we can help.
