Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC)

The five Aging & Disability Resource Centers in Maine serve as “one-stop-shops” to answer questions from older adults, or from any individuals with disabilities, about a wide range of in-home, community-based, and institutional services.

Aging and Disability Resource Centers are expert at answering questions in-home care services and all kinds of long-term support. Maine’s five Aging and Disability Resource Center sites:

• provide information and assistance to individuals needing either public or private long-term care resources,
• serve professionals seeking assistance on behalf of their clients’ long-term care needs,
• serve individuals planning for their future long-term care needs, and
• serve as the entry point to publicly administered long-term supports including those funded under Medicaid, the Older Americans Act and state revenue programs.

Maine’s Aging & Disability Resource Centers are designed to serve all older adults, people with disabilities and their caregivers,  who have long-term care community or program needs.
