Aging and Disability Resource Centers

Overview

Alaska's Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) connect Alaskans with long-term services and programs they need. They help seniors, people with disabilities and caregivers find services like in-home care, transportation, Medicaid and Medicare options, and environmental modification resources. ADRCs can also help consumers find assistive technology resources, like vision or hearing aids, and mobility devices, like walkers or wheelchairs. They can sometimes help people make changes to a home to make it safer or easier to access. 

Who qualifies?

ADRCs serve seniors, people with disabilities, and caregivers. The ADRC network serves Alaskans statewide, regardless of age or income level, through regional sites.

How to sign up

To get help from ADRC, call 1-855-565-2017 or contact your nearest ADRC location. ADRC specialists will help you through a pre-screening process. This can happen in person, at your home, over the phone, or by video. The pre-screening checks if you meet the requirements for services before you fill out an application.

During your appointment, you can expect them to ask questions and gather information about your situation. Make sure to have any important documents ready, like identification or information about your income.

How to use

ADRC specialists talk to people to find the best support for their needs, and people can choose which services they would like. The ADRC specialists then help them get those services.
