The Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) initiative, a collaborative effort of the U.S. Administration on Aging and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is designed to streamline access to long-term care. The ADRC program supports State efforts to develop “one-stop shop” centers in local communities that help older adults and individuals with disabilities make informed decisions about their service and support options and serve as the single point of entry to the long-term care system.
ADRC programs provide information and assistance to individuals needing either public or private resources, professionals seeking assistance on behalf of their clients, and individuals planning for their future long-term care needs.
ADRCs target services to senior and people with disabilities (i.e., individuals with physical disabilities, serious mental illness, and/or mental retardation/ developmental disabilities). ADRCs are working towards the goal of serving all individuals with long-term care needs regardless of their age or disability.
