Georgia ADRC and 211 Resource Navigation¶
Georgia caregivers can use the Aging and Disability Resource Connection, Area Agencies on Aging, Georgia aging network, and 2-1-1 Georgia to find local aging, disability, caregiver, long-term services and supports, benefits, food, housing, utilities, health care, employment, disaster relief, and community resource referrals.
Georgia's Aging and Disability Resource Connection is a coordinated system of partner organizations that provides accurate information about publicly and privately financed long-term supports and services, helps people learn about home and community service options, reduces the need for multiple calls or visits, and supports people who are aging or living with a disability and their family members. Georgia DHS Division of Aging Services says the ADRC serves older individuals, individuals with disabilities of all ages, families, caregivers, and professionals, currently serves all 159 counties through twelve regions, and is intended as a single point of entry for public long-term support programs and benefits. Georgia DHS lists local Area Agencies on Aging, Centers for Independent Living, developmental disability contacts, and brain-injury contacts by planning and service area. Georgia.gov says the Division of Aging Services supports older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers through services such as delivered meals, legal assistance, Medicare counseling, and information about services, programs, and benefits. United Ways of Georgia describes 2-1-1 Georgia as a free, confidential helpline available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, connecting callers to trained specialists for food, housing, utilities, health care, employment, disaster relief, and other community resources.
