The Aging and Disability Resource Center of the North offers help for individuals age 60+ and adults with disabilities.
Information and Assistance:
ADRCs offer a central source for information and assistance on issues affecting older adults and adults with disabilities, regardless of income. ADRCs offer welcoming and convenient locations for you and your family to get information, advice, and access to a wide variety of services. Information and Assistance Specialists provide knowledge about services, programs, and resources related to older adults and adults with disabilities.
Long-Term Care Options Counseling:
Options Counselors offer information and consultation about options available to meet your long-term care needs, including discussion about factors to consider when making long-term care decisions. If you would like to discuss the help or care you need, where you can receive care, and how to pay for care, the ADRC can help you understand your options.
Help Paying for Long-Term Care:
ADRCs are the entryway to publicly funded long-term care programs (Family Care and IRIS) and can assess your level of need for services and your eligibility for long term care benefits. Once this information is determined, the ADRC will provide information about the options available to you.
Benefits Counseling:
Benefit Specialists provide accurate and current information about private and government benefits and programs. Services include assisting individuals who have questions or who need help with the process of accessing Medicare, Social Security, and other benefits.
Health and Wellness:
The ADRC promotes effective prevention efforts and provides information on ways an individual can stay healthy and as independent as possible.
Dementia Care:
Dementia Care Specialists and other ADRC staff provide information and support for individuals with dementia, their caregivers, and the community at large.
