| In partnership with the Governor’s
Office of Elderly Affairs, and the Department of Health and
Hospitals and in conjunction with the statewide initiative LouisianaAnswers.com,
the center links adults living with disabilities, senior citizens,
and caregivers to the information they need to improve their
health, independence, and quality of life.
The Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) recognizes
the need for greater information and education on services
for seniors and adults with disabilities and will be providing
outreach as well as inviting volunteers and community participation
on collaborative efforts from both the public and private
sector. JCOA’s ADRC serves the parishes of Jefferson,
St. Charles, St. James, and St. John the Baptist.
The ADRC serves as the information access point for long-term
services and support systems and will provide information
on public and private programs and promote awareness of community
based service options.
Situations frequently arise where people may feel overwhelmed
and know they need answers. They realize they need help, but
they aren’t quite sure what questions to ask. The Aging
& Disability Resource Center is a place for them to call
and speak to a live person for assistance and information
about the vast healthcare services spectrum. Here they can
find information as well as get personal assistance in applying
for services and programs, help with completing applications,
or obtaining more in-depth educational material.
The Aging and Disability Resource Center is the central place
where you can go for person to person assistance and counseling
to help make the best, most informed decisions and choices
for good, healthy, living. It is your guide to navigate the
confusing arena to find answers.
