Aging and Disability Resource Center

Council on Aging’s Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) – our Call Center – is the “front door” to services and information for older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers and professionals.

It is a free 24-hour service so you get the help you need when you need it.

Eligibility

  • Relationship: spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, non relative

Questions to ask the program

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

  • Does the person receiving care live in Ohio? Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
  • Does your relationship to the person (spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative) count for this program?
  • Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
  • What documents do you need from us to start an application?
  • Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
