West Virginia 211 and Aging and Disability Resource Network¶
West Virginia caregivers can use WV 211, the West Virginia Aging and Disability Resource Network, Aging and Disability Resource Centers, and the Bureau of Senior Services to find aging, disability, caregiver, respite, long-term services and supports, in-home care, adult day, community meals, home health, transportation, homemaker, housing, food, utility, health care, mental health, and community-service referrals.
West Virginia 211 is a 24/7 health and human services information and referral pathway. The West Virginia Bureau for Family Assistance says dialing 211 directs callers to services for older adults, people with disabilities, people with limited English, people in crisis, and people new to their communities, and that WV 211 maintains a comprehensive database of health and human services with program, intake, eligibility, hours, and disaster-service information. WV 211 referral specialists match caller needs to private and public health and human service resources and link or refer callers directly to agencies that can help. Referral categories include basic needs, physical and mental health, Medicaid and Medicare, transportation, support for older Americans and people with disabilities, adult day care, community meals, respite care, home health care, and homemaker services. West Virginia's Aged and Disabled Waiver site directs people seeking information about programs for people age 60 or older or adults with physical disabilities to the West Virginia Aging and Disability Network. State ADRC materials describe West Virginia's Aging and Disability Resource Center as a key access point and first contact for long-term care services and supports.
