811278_Grady.indd 1 27/06/16 5:09 PM Resource Directory for Senior Adults and Individuals with a Disability in the Atlanta Region
A third of all Georgians age 60 and older make their home in the Atlanta Region’s 10 counties and data indicates this population is growing. In addition, over 400,000 residents state they live with some type of disability. Today, one person in 10 is over age 60 and it is projected that by 2030, one person in five will be over 60. This Resource Directory for Senior Adults and Individuals with Disabilities in the Atlanta Region provides information to help individuals and their caregivers identify opportunities and services aimed at enriching and supporting a long and healthy lifestyle for our region’s expanding population. It also includes a listing of services to help individuals that are frail remain in the community and maintain their independence as long as possible. As the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) and the Aging & Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) for the 10-county Atlanta region, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) is responsible for plan- ning, developing, implementing and coordinating the delivery of services through a network of locally based agencies and service providers. ARC serves senior adults, individuals with disabilities, family members, caregivers, friends, professionals and the community at large. AAAs were established under the Older Americans Act in 1973 to respond to the needs of adults aged 60 and over and that charge has grown over the years, most notably with the creation of ADRCs which were created to allow people of all ages, incomes and disabilities to go to one location to get information and one-on-one counseling on the full range of long term care supports and solutions. AAAs/ADRCs are part of a comprehensive, nationwide information and referral/assessment system that responds to the aging, disabilities and long term care needs of individuals throughout the country. The Atlanta Regional Commission AAA/ADRC coordinates and maintains the ESP statewide database containing more than 26,000 services and programs. Many of the resources listed in this publication are from the ESP database. Information and Referral Specialists and others throughout the state use ESP to find services for Georgia’s residents. The database provides detailed information, customized for each service category, including hours of operation, eligibility, cost, and services or programs offered by agencies and fee for service companies in the community. For more information about ESP, call (404) 463-3232. This directory is a tool to help connect you to local services and activities. Services offered may be subsidized by government, provided for a fee, covered through insurance or offered at no cost to the user. For additional detailed information on resources, contact the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Aging & Disability Resource Connection. ARC’s trained and certified Information and Referral Specialists can consult with you, help you assess your needs and provide you contact information for appropriate resources. There is no charge for this Information and Referral service.
