Answers & Counseling

Spectrum Generations Aging and Disability Resource Counselors (ADRC) serve as single points of entry into the long-term supports and services system. An ADRC is that single point of entry – no wrong door – for access to public and private long term supports services focused on improving access to long term care supports so that older and disabled adults can receive the right services, at the right time, and in the right place.
 
Finding out how to obtain these services can be difficult.  Aging and Disability Resource Counselors can help individuals and their families navigate their way through the frustrations of finding long term support programs by:

•Identifying needs and minimizing confusion
•Providing objective counseling and advice
•Empower people to make informed decisions about long term care supports
•Help people access public and private long term support service programs.
•Develop and activate a plan.
