What is the Aging and Disability Resource Connection 

The Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) is intended to support the needs of individuals and caregivers and respect the diversity of families and cultures that make up their local communities. The ADRC’s purpose is to provide a single more coordinated system for people seeking reliable information and access to Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS). 

ADRCs are intended to act as a “No Wrong Door” system that enables people of all ages, incomes, and disabilities to connect with any of the ADRC partner organizations to access a wide array of Long-Term Services and Support options in the community.

Enhance Information Referral & Assistance

Comprehensive resource information, follow-ups, and referrals via “warm hand-offs.”

Options Counseling

Assist in identifying goals and needs through person-centered counseling and coordinating access to public and private-funded long-term services and supports in the community.

Short-Term Service Coordination

Expedited access to services and supports for individuals at risk of institutionalization, generally for 90 days or less, until a longer-term plan is in place.

Transition Services

These services are for people currently in a hospital, nursing facility, or other institution who wish to receive long-term services and support at home or in a community-based setting.
