The process is directed by the individual and may include others such as a caregiver or legal representative. Options Counselors can provide information on a variety of topics including alternatives to nursing facility placement, information and referral to in-home services, benefits counseling, program applications and more!

An ADRC is designed to be a highly visible and trusted place where people can turn for information on a full range of long-term support options.
