Connecting Seniors and People with Disabilities to Support
Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) serve as trusted entry points for individuals seeking long‑term services and supports. Established through partnerships between state agencies and local organizations, ADRCs help older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers navigate complex systems of care.
For families facing challenges with aging, disability, or caregiving, ADRCs provide guidance, dignity, and access to resources that promote independence and stability.`q
How ADRCs Assist
Applicants begin by contacting their local ADRC, where trained
staff provide information, counseling, and assistance with
applications. Identity and eligibility verification may be
required depending on the program or service requested
ADRCs coordinate with healthcare providers, housing
authorities, and community organizations to ensure individuals
receive the right mix of services. This may include Medicaid
waivers, home‑ and community‑based services, transportation,
or caregiver support.
By acting as a single point of entry, ADRCs simplify access to
programs that would otherwise be difficult to navigate
ADRCs have transformed communities by reducing barriers to care, supporting caregivers, and empowering individuals to remain in their homes longer. By connecting people with housing, healthcare, and financial resources, ADRCs reduce institutionalization and promote community living.
