New Name Same Great Organization
Adult Resources for Care and Help
(ARCH) has changed their name. The statewide organization will now be
known as ADRC or Aging & Disability Resources of Colorado. ADRC is housed
in the Mesa County Department of Human Services and will continue to provide
the same excellent service to residents with the new name.
Aging & Disability
Resources of Colorado (ADRC), is a resource center for older adults and adults
with disabilities who are exploring options for long-term care services.
ADRC or
Aging & Disability Resources of Colorado is a unique and exciting program that is available to
adults 60 years and older as well as adults 18 years and older with a disability.
The ADRC program provides a "one-stop shop" approach for accessing
long term care services and community resource. This is accomplished by an
extensive collaboration with community partners.
ADRC Director Christie Higgins said “The only change will be the name. ADRC Resource Specialists remain the same and they
will continue to help families navigate the long-term care system. The same
reliable Resource Specialists will continue to make all the same referrals for
services, identify resources and assist with the application process of
long-term care across Western Colorado.”
The
ADRC program connects adult disabled or elderly residents with basic needs such
as transportation, handyman assistance, caregiver respite, home-maker episodic
assistance and an in home program called Home Connections. ADRC also has
financial assistance programs that can potentially assist with durable medical
equipment, dental and/or vision care that is not otherwise covered (please
inquire about eligibility requirements).
