Aging and Disability Resource Center

The Southeast Kansas Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) is a trusted source of information where people of all ages, abilities and income levels - and their caregivers - can go to obtain assistance in planning for their future long-term service and support needs. The ADRC is designed to empower older adults and persons with disabilities to make informed choices about their services and supports. 

The Southeast Kansas Aging and Disability Resource Center has three major goals:

• To Provide Information, Referral and Assistance: The ADRC has knowledgeable staff trained in Community Resource Information and can link individuals to appropriate services and support.
• Options Counseling: An Options Counselor can help by providing unbiased information that is relevant to the individual’s needs, preferences and goals. This helps support the individual in making informed choices about their long-term care service options.

• Assessments: The ADRC conducts the initial and annual functional eligablility assessment for the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) program. The waivers for HCBS are Frail Elderly, Physical Disability, Tramatic Brain Injury, and Money Follows the Person (MFP). The ADRC also completes the CARE (Client, Assessment, Referral and Evaluation) for individuals entering a nursing facility.
