Abstract: This study will help determine whether Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs)are meeting the Long Term Service and Support needs of the aging and disability populations. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) will gather information about whether ADRCs, as compared to other systems, are more personalized, consumer-friendly, streamlined, and efficient. ACL is also interested in determining whether consumers who access ADRCs, as compared to consumers who access other systems, report being more empowered to make informed decisions about their care options, are better able to plan ahead for their future long-term care needs, and have more understanding of, and access to, long term services and supports. The evaluation will analyze the relationship between the range and mix of services received by ADRC consumers with their satisfaction with services, perceptions of their own quality of life and the extent of which those services helped them to remain in the community (rather than enter a residential facility such as a nursing home.)Staff of the Administration on Aging's Office of Nutrition and Health Promotion Programs will use the information and recommendations resulting from the evaluation of the Aging and Disability Resource Centers to both determine the value of the ADRC model and to improve program operations. Data will be collected from State-level and local-level ADRCs and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) as well as from a sample of consumers who contact a participating ADRCs or AAAs during the study enrollment period.
