Aging And Disability Resource Center

Aging and Disability Resource Centers, or ADRC's, provide accurate, unbiased information on all aspects of life related to aging or living with disability.

The ADRC provides information on a broad range of programs and services, helps people understand long term care options, helps people apply for programs and benefits, and serves as the access point for publicly-funded long term care. These services can be provided on site, via phone, or through a home visit, whichever is more convenient to the individual seeking help.
