Louisiana ADRC, GOEA, and 211 Resource Navigation

Louisiana caregivers can use the Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs Aging and Disability Resource Centers, Area Agencies on Aging, Councils on Aging, Louisiana Answers, and Louisiana 211 to find local aging, disability, caregiver, home and community-based service, respite, meals, homemaker, personal care, transportation, medication, legal, utility, health, housing, kinship, and community-service referrals.

What it offers

Louisiana's Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs administers home and community-based services through a network of Area Agencies on Aging and acts as a visible advocate and focal point for matters affecting older Louisianans. GOEA's Aging and Disability Resource Center directory lists local ADRCs, Area Agencies on Aging, and Councils on Aging by parish, with services that include information and assistance, home-delivered meals, homemaker, personal care, transportation, legal help, medication management, utility assistance, wellness, Louisiana Answers, and National Family Caregiver Support Program services such as information and assistance, in-home respite, public education, support groups, sitter service, and material aid. GOEA's HCBS page lists supportive services such as personal care, meals, homemaker, respite, home modification, assistive technology, and transportation and identifies statewide coordination for ADRCs and Senior Rx. Louisiana 211 provides confidential 24/7 statewide information and referral by phone or text and links people to local help, kinship caregiver resources, health information, opioid resources, and other community services.

Questions that decide eligibility

GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:

  1. 01

    Does the person receiving care live in Louisiana?

    Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.

  2. 02

    Does your relationship to the person — spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative — count for this program?

  3. 03

    Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?

  4. 04

    Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?

  5. 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.

  6. 06

    What documents do you need from us to start an application?

  7. 07

    Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
