Aging and Disability Resource Centers
Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) in Wisconsin provide information, assistance, and referrals for aging and disability services to Wisconsin residents of all ages regardless of income. Elder benefit specialists within ADRCs specifically serve adults 60 or older, offering guidance and support.
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 Wisconsin?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (60–null)?
- 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?
