Alaska ADRC and 211 Resource Navigation

Alaska caregivers can use the State of Alaska Aging and Disability Resource Center network and Alaska 211 to find local services, long-term services and supports, caregiver resources, in-home care, transportation, Medicaid and Medicare options, environmental modification resources, and other community referrals.

Alaska ADRCs provide free personal guidance for seniors, people with disabilities, and caregivers through regional sites statewide. ADRC specialists help people find and connect with long-term services and supports, including in-home care, transportation, Medicaid and Medicare options, environmental modification resources, assistive technology, and mobility devices. Alaska 211 provides free, confidential information and referral, a searchable resource database, and a caregiver resource path through its partnership with AARP's Caregiver Program.

Some details for this program are still being verified. Check the official source for the most current information.

Questions to ask the program

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

  • Does the person receiving care live in Alaska? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
  • Does your relationship to the person — spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative — count for this program?
  • Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
  • What documents do you need from us to start an application?
  • Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
