Iowa Health and Human Services describes the Aging and Disability Resource Center network as a No Wrong Door system that helps older adults and people with disabilities in Iowa find services and supports. The network includes Disability Access Points and Area Agencies on Aging. DAPs help people with disabilities, families, and caregivers through information, planning, referrals, and follow-up. AAAs help people over 60, caregivers, and adults over 18 with disabilities learn about services and support options and provide meals, counseling, in-home supports, and community programs. LifeLong Links is Iowa's searchable database for aging-related and disability-related home and community-based services. 211 Iowa is a free comprehensive information and referral system for food, shelter, utility assistance, health and human service programs, community services, disaster services, and government programs.
