Long term planning assistance

Options Counseling is a person-centered process whereby individuals, family members and/or significant others are supported to develop a plan for addressing long term services and supports needs that aligns with their preferences, strengths, values, and needs. Options Counselors:

• assist in developing a person-centered plan detailing the individual’s decisions, immediate next steps and long term objectives,
• assist the individual to connect with public and privately funded services as needed, and

We can help reduce falls in the home

Falls are the number one cause of injury, hospital visits due to trauma, and death from an injury among people age 65 and older. It is estimated that one in three older adults falls each year. Falls among older adults is a serious issue, but research has shown that many fall risks can be reduced.

Because there are many different factors that contribute to falls, there are different recommendations for reducing fall risks. At ADTRC, we can help you locate resources and options for fall prevention education and home modifications, as well as financial assistance to obtain equipment needed.

Resource to independent living aids

If you have a disability or injury, you may use a number of assistive devices. These are tools, products or types of equipment that help you perform tasks and activities. They may help you move around, see, communicate, eat, or get dressed.

With the aid of these technologies, people with a loss in functioning are better able to live independently and participate in their societies. The ADTRC can help you find providers and financial assistance to obtain the assistive devices needed.
