The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) is your front door to all of the services, supports and long-term care expertise that Direction Home Akron Canton has to offer. The ADRC is here to provide you with screenings, assessments, and printed material from our resource library. The best part is that all ADRC services are FREE and provided by trusted and certified individuals.
What Does the ADRC Do?
We provide information, assistance and referrals to older adults and individuals of all ages with disabilities. First, we speak with you over the phone to determine what your current needs may be. Then, we assist you in identifying long-term care options. Next, if desired, we can arrange a free in-person (as able) assessment with one of our Registered Nurses (RNs) so that the ADRC can help you apply or sign up for Agency and community programs.
- FREE information and supports available from the comforts of home
- FREE telephone assessments to determine long-term care needs and options
- FREE in-home assessments, as able, with a Direction Home Registered Nurse (RN) to determine eligibility for programs and next steps
