Aging and Disabled Resources

Our Aged and Disabled Resource Center (ADRC) provides seniors and persons with disabilities the information and services to remain independent:

There are 16 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) in Indiana and 600+ in the United States and although many of their services are the same, many services are different. They offer advocacy, planning and funding of services that make a difference in the lives of older adults—from the frail older person or the person with disabilities of any age who is able to remain at home if they receive the right services, to their caregivers, as well as those persons who are healthy and can benefit from activities and socialization provided by community-based programs.

The Aged and Disabled Resource Centers (ADRCs), a service of the AAAs, help older adults and individuals with disabilities make informed decisions about their care options and serve as the point of entry to the long-term care system.
