Aging and Disability Services, Area Agencies on Aging, and ADRCs

Aging and Disability Resource Centers, Area Agencies on Aging, and other organizations serving older adults or individuals with disabilities face never seen before challenges. They must serve a rapidly growing population whose experiences and expectations vary wildly from the generation that came before. Today, agencies need to adapt their services to meet the needs of an active generation that embraces technology, is willing to go digital when exploring the resources and services available to them and are dealing with social distancing requirements. Not only do such services need to meet these individuals where they are and on the communication channels they prefer, but they must also engage digitally with their partner organizations and community based organizations so that they can coordinate care, provide wraparound services, ensure close-loop referral tracking, and practice No Wrong Door philosophies to accessing services.
