Where can I get help? Call the Aging & Disabilities Resource Centers!

Have you heard of the Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) in Alaska? These centers provide vital services to help seniors, individuals with disabilities, and caregivers get the support they need. In this episode of "Alaska Wisdom and Wellness," we will learn about the essential services provided by local ADRCs. Have you ever wondered what it's like to turn a crisis into a manageable situation? The ADRC team members will share some of their most rewarding experiences, such as helping someone secure disability benefits after a seven-year effort or assisting a homeless veteran in finding stable housing. Their stories highlight the importance of respecting individual choices, even when they differ from standard advice, and showcase the profound impact of their work on people's lives. Ariel, Beth, Rob and Thomas explain how the ADRCs take a personalized approach, including warm introductions and follow-up calls, to ensure that people receive the critical assistance they require. Whether it's housing assistance, navigating Social Security and Medicare, or other needs, you'll gain a better understanding of the ADRC's mission to empower individuals in their own communities. Call the ADRC's central contact number, 855-565-2017 to connect to someone at the regional ADRC center nearest you. Please tell your friends about the ADRC. We want to spread this information to ensure seniors receive the help they need.
