What happens if things don t go as expected?

8 Aging & Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) A federal initiative of the Administration for Community Living, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the Veterans Health Administration Empowers consumers to successfully navigate and access public and/or private long-term and home or communitybased services and supports Serves individuals of all ages and all types of disabilities and their representatives, regardless of income; Creates formal partnerships across aging, disability, Medicaid, healthcare and other human service providers to appropriately assist consumers. 8

9 What are the Benefits of ADRC Networks? Often a small amount of information or support can help persons and caregivers understand and access needed services and supports that help them live in least restrictive and preferred settings By linking consumers with services and supports that match their individualized priorities and preferences, ADRC networks have the ability to assist individuals to remain at home or in their communities. By facilitating access to these services, ADRCs support individual self-empowerment and quality of life. 9
