DHS Campaign Increases Awareness of Wisconsin's Aging and Disability Resource Centers
New toll-free phone hotline and resource directory make finding resources and services easier statewide
This Aging and Disability Resource Month and Older Americans Month, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is highlighting a statewide campaign to increase awareness of and improve access to ADRCs (aging and disability resource centers) and Tribal partner agencies. The campaign directs customers to new and improved ways to contact local ADRCs, including a searchable online resource at FindMyADRC.org, and toll-free phone service at 1-844-WIS-ADRC.
"ADRCs play a critical role for Wisconsinites and serve as a bridge to support for Wisconsinites who are aging or experience a disability," said Gov. Tony Evers. "I hear from Wisconsinites across the state about the valuable guidance and support ADRCs provide to folks and communities across our state. That's why I included funding in my budget for ADRCs so we can advance the safety and dignity of older adults and people with disabilities and help them continue to live in their homes and communities."
