Alaska ADRC and 211 Resource Navigation
Alaska caregivers can use the State of Alaska Aging and Disability Resource Center network and Alaska 211 to find local services, long-term services and supports, caregiver resources, in-home care, transportation, Medicaid and Medicare options, environmental modification resources, and other community referrals.
What it offers
Alaska ADRCs provide free personal guidance for seniors, people with disabilities, and caregivers through regional sites statewide. ADRC specialists help people find and connect with long-term services and supports, including in-home care, transportation, Medicaid and Medicare options, environmental modification resources, assistive technology, and mobility devices. Alaska 211 provides free, confidential information and referral, a searchable resource database, and a caregiver resource path through its partnership with AARP's Caregiver Program.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Alaska?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does your relationship to the person — spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative — count for this program?
- 03
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 04
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 05
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- 06
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 07
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
