About the Aging & Disability Resource Center
The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) serves as a starting place to discover community programs available to you. Our trained and certified Resource Specialists are here to answer questions and help you understand a wide variety of resources. The ADRC prevents those seeking care support from navigating the maze of services alone.
All of the staff at the ADRC advocate for seniors and those with disabilities to ensure they have the most current, reliable, and unbiased information on long-term care options and services. We work to promote choice and independence for anyone needing information and assistance.
