The Role of an ADRC  

Aging and Disability Resource Centers provide a central source of reliable and objective information about a broad range of programs and services.  They help people understand and evaluate various options available to them.  By enabling people to find resources in their communicates and make informed decisions about long-term care, ADRCs help people conserve their personal resources, maintain self-sufficiency, and delay or prevent the need for potentially expensive long-term care.  ADRCs also serve as the single access point for publicly funded long-term care, including Family Care and IRIS.

Population Served

ADRC services are available to older adults and people with physical and developmental disabilities, regardless of income and of the person’s eligibility for publicly funded long-term care.  ADRCs also provide information and referral, disability benefits counseling, and referral for emergency services to adults with mental illness and/or substance use disorders.  ADRC services are available to families, friends, caregivers, and others, who work with, or care about, peoples or people with disabilities.
