Georgia ADRC and 211 Resource Navigation
Georgia caregivers can use the Aging and Disability Resource Connection, Area Agencies on Aging, Georgia aging network, and 2-1-1 Georgia to find local aging, disability, caregiver, long-term services and supports, benefits, food, housing, utilities, health care, employment, disaster relief, and community resource referrals.
What it offers
Georgia's Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) is a coordinated system of partner organizations across all 159 counties that provides accurate information about publicly and privately financed long-term supports and services. It serves older individuals, individuals with disabilities of all ages, families, and caregivers, offering resource navigation, counseling, referrals, and eligibility screening to help people access community-based services.
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 Georgia?
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?
