Get listed in the Helpline Database
The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) is a federally funded program at the Area Agency on Aging that provides information and referral/assistance services to seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers.

The Helpline consistently receives over 20,000 calls/contacts per year. Out-of-state family and friends also use the Area Agency’s website to locate resources and to email the Helpline about community resources.
Applying: Agencies and businesses that are interested in becoming part of the database must:
– A service narrative that describes your agency or business, the services that your agency or business is willing to provide as a stand-alone or primary service, and any qualifications or amenities that should be considered in choosing your service.
