Aging and Disability Resources for Colorado is a visible and trusted source of information on long-term services and support options for older adults, including future planning, person-centered options counseling, coordinated and streamlined access to information and assistance, and personalized assistance for informed decisions. CDHS says people can call 1.844.COL.ADRC or contact a local Area Agency on Aging office. 2-1-1 Colorado lists caregiver and care receiver support groups, personal care, adult and child respite care, aging and disability resource centers, Area Agencies on Aging, centers for independent living, senior housing, transportation, adult protective resources, food, housing, legal, health, mental health, employment, and other local resources. 2-1-1 Colorado says people can dial 2-1-1, text a ZIP code, use live chat, or search online, and that no matter where someone lives in Colorado they can dial 2-1-1 for local community resources. DRCOG says its Aging and Disability Resource Center helps older adults, adults with disabilities, family members, caregivers, friends, and professionals access long-term services and supports at no cost in the Denver regional service area.

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 Colorado? — 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 the person receiving care in the covered age range (60 or older)?
  • 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?
