Aging & Disability Resource Center of Washington County

Mission: To empower and assist all seniors, adults with disabilities, and their families by providing services which help them make informed choices, maintain independence, and remain safely in their home and community.

The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) is a welcoming and accessible place where older people and people with disabilities can obtain information, advice, and help in locating services or applying for benefits. By enabling people to find resources in their communities and make informed decisions about long term care, the ADRC helps people conserve their personal resources, maintain self-sufficiency and delay or prevent the need for potentially expensive long term care.

We help older people and people with physical or developmental disabilities secure needed services or benefits, live with dignity and security, and achieve maximum independence and quality of life. We provide a central source of reliable and objective information about a broad range of programs and services and help people understand and evaluate the various options available to them.

The ADRC also serves as the single access point for publicly funded long term care, including Family Care and IRIS. ADRC services are available to older people and people with disabilities regardless of income and regardless of whether the person is eligible for publicly funded long term care. ADRC services are also available to families, friends, caregivers, physicians, hospital discharge planners, and others who work with or care about older people or people with disabilities. ADRC consultations and other services are provided at the Resource Center, over the telephone, via the Internet/email, in visits to an individual’s home, and at other locations that are convenient to the people we serve.
