State Agencies Focused on the Elderly
State governments have agencies that help seniors find care information. There are Aging and Disability Resource Centers or ADRCs for short and there are Area Agencies on Aging or AAAs for short.
Aging and Disability Resource Centers ADRCs serve as a single point of entry for families to learn about the long term care support services available to them through federal, state and other programs. The ADRCs provide free and objective counseling services. While very helpful, the ADRC system is still being developed and is not available nationwide.
Area Agencies on Aging In those areas of the country where the ADRC system is not fully developed, seniors can often receive counseling and information from their local AAA. These agencies do not have a clear mission to provide benefits counseling but in the absence of an ADRC, they are a good place to start. In many areas these organizations serve the dual role of ADRC and AAA.
