ADRC – Aging and Disability Resources for Colorado The overall goal of the ADRC program is to empower individuals to effectively navigate their health and other long-term support options. Sometimes referred to as a "one-stop shops" or "no wrong door" systems, ADRCs address many of the frustrations consumers and their families experience when trying to find needed information, services, and supports. Through integration or coordination of existing aging and disability service systems, ADRC programs raise visibility about the full range of options that are available, provide objective information, advice, counseling and assistance, empowering people to make informed decisions about their long term supports, and help people more easily access public and private long term supports and services programs. The ADRC program is available to people age 60 and over and age 18 – 59 with a disability that have long-term care needs. In 2015 there were 4166 contacts. Additionally, we provided in depth options counseling to 348 clients. CCT – Colorado Choice Transitions The primary goal of CCT is facilitating the transition of Medicaid clients from nursing or other long term care facilities to the community using home and community based services (HCBS) and supports. ADRC Options Counselors go to the nursing home to explain the choices and options for residents and make referrals to agencies who work with the resident to create a transition plan. In 2015 we responded to 10 referrals, in which 6 wanted to move forward with the transition process. Senior Link – Community Link Through a partnership with the Pueblo County Department of Social Services our options counselors provide hands on application assistance for public benefit programs. We will fill out the application for clients, help them collect the needed paperwork and personally drop off their application. Additionally, we help troubleshoot any issues that may arise with their benefits and will work to correct any problems. 211 for Southeast Colorado 2-1-1 is a free information and referral service connecting callers in need, to local agencies that provide resources.
