Introduction
At the Racine County Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) we have trained
Information and Assistance Specialists who can help people identify their need(s), sort through options and make choices that are best for them. To maintain independence it is important to know where to start and how to access services. Staff are available to meet with people at the ADRC, discuss issues over the phone or meet with people in their home. Often people contact the ADRC with a question about public and private benefits or insurance. At the ADRC there are
Benefit Specialists who can help people with disabilities and older adults apply for public benefits.
What can I expect if I call or walk in?
We ask people to talk to us about their concern for themselves or a family member or friend. Once we understand their individual situation, we help them: Learn about programs and services, decide what options are best, apply for benefits (if needed). ADRC services are available to individuals, concerned family members, friends, or professionals working with issues related to: aging, physical disabilities, or developmental disabilities.
