The Aging and Disability Resource Center is a collaborative effort of the Administration on Aging and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services designed to streamline access to long term care. The Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) is the phone line that gives you access to information on local human services for older adults or disabled persons. The Aging and Disability Resource C

onnection, a program within the Northeast Georgia Area Agency on Aging, provides information and referrals to services and resources that assist older adults and disabled individuals to age in place within their communities. Trained, caring professionals are ready to listen and provide service from a person-centered approach. Whether you need information on your parents, a disabled individual (child/adult), or yourself, the ADRC works with Community Connection (211) to put you in touch with for-profit and non-profit providers of services for older adults and disabled consumers. To speak to a knowledgeable, unbiased counselor about resources and programs that serve this population, call us at 706-583-2546 or 1-800-474-7540.
