ADRC’s are a no-cost, single point of contact for information and assistance. They are a central source of information, assistance and access to community resources for older people and people with disabilities, as well as their families. Personalized assistance is available at the resource centers, over the telephone, or home visits.
The staff can help you sort through all of the options available and make informed decisions about a wide variety of topics, such as:
- Maintaining your independence
- Support services and resources in your community
- Choices for long-term care and related services
- Medicare benefits and other health-related benefits
- How to cut through the “red tape” and receive assistance with Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and other benefits
- Evidence-Based health and wellness programs
ADRC’s provide unbiased information about the providers and services in your community, their availability, and costs. Their team of professionals will work with you to find the right fit of options for your individual situation and provide the information you need to make the best decisions.
