The Jefferson Council on Aging is pleased to announce the opening of its Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC).
In partnership with the Governor’s Office of Elderly Affairs, and the Department of Health and Hospitals and in conjunction with the statewide initiative LouisianaAnswers.com, the center will link adults living with disabilities, senior citizens, and caregivers to the information they need to improve their health, independence, and quality of life. 

The center recognizes the need for greater information and education on services for seniors and adults with disabilities and will be providing outreach as well as inviting volunteers and community participation on collaborative efforts from both the public and private sector. The Jefferson Council on Aging’s ADRC will serve the greater New Orleans area including the parishes of Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, and St. Bernard.

The center will serve as an information access point for long-term services and support systems and will provide information on public and private programs and promote awareness of community based service options.

Situations frequently arise where people may feel overwhelmed and know they need answers. They realize they need help, but they aren’t quite sure what questions to ask.  The Aging & Disability Resource Center is a place for them to call and speak to a live person for assistance and information about the vast healthcare services spectrum.  Here they can find information as well as get personal assistance in applying for services and programs, help with completing applications, or obtaining more in-depth educational material.

The Aging and Disability Resource Center is the central place where you can go for person to person assistance and counseling to help make the best, most informed decisions and choices for good, healthy, living.  It is your guide to navigate the confusing arena to find answers.  If you need help, call us at (504) 888-5880 or, for those caregivers living out of state, call us toll free at (800) 635-1437.
