"Aging and Disability Resource Center"
An Open Door, No Wrong Door Entry into Long Term Support Services
The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) provides citizen centered “one-stop” entry points into the long term support (LTS) system. We serve individuals in need of LTS, caregivers and those planning for future LTS needs. This program was launched in the Fall of 2006 and is a collaborative effort of various agencies statewide. The key to the ADRC is teh many partnerships that exist between us and these various other agencies.
The ADRC maintains an open door policy to assist individuals in getting the care they require to maintain the quality of life they desire. We strive to achieve this by offering three main functions.
