On February 1st we initiated an Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC). The ADRC is a place for the general public to come for information either in person, by telephone, or other written mode, with an initial focus on:
- Information and Assistance
- Options Counseling
- Elderly Benefits counseling
- Enrollment Counseling for long term care programs (programs available July 2010)

The ADRC services will be phased in, with a skeleton staff pattern until July 2010. There are no financial or functional eligibility criteria to use this service. The services are intended to be available to elderly and persons who have disabilities.

We will be located on the north side of the 3rd floor in the Oshkosh Human Service building. After July 1st, we will have a presence at the Neenah Human Services building as well.

Previously adult intake for Long Term Care programs was routed through Access and moved on to one of the LTS Adult Access workers. As of Monday, Feb 1st these calls, for adults and adolescents age 17 yr 9 months (3 months shy of their 18th birthday) will now come to the ADRC. The contact information for can be found below:
Phone: 877-886-2372

As of Feb 1, the Adult Protective Services team will be funneled to 2.5 staff, also accessible through this phone number and e-mail address. The LTS Access team ended as of January 31, 2010. If you have any questions about this please contact the ADRC.
