Good Evening, Most~
There could be numerous agencies to contact near you:
County Senior Services
Hospice Organizations (through a local hospital and/or private business)
The UOAA (United Ostomy Association of America)-affilitated Support Group nearest you: www.ostomy.org
Also consider reaching out to your surgeon's office and/or your GI doctor's office for possible guidance.
I hope you are able to get information from these resources to ease your mind & spirit.
