There are circumstances that a person may require assistance through publicly funded programs to get their needs met.  The ADRC works with any person regardless of their income.  However through the options counseling process at the ADRC it may be determined whether or not a person may wish to pursue a publicly funded programs and in turn, qualify for this.  When accessing public dollars (programs funded thru federal, state, and local county dollars) there are qualifiers that may vary from program to program and are based upon a person's circumstances. 

If you are interested in programs that support a person in the community, offer assistance in your home, or assistance returning to the community from a nursing home please visit our long term care page.
