What is an ADRC? ADRCs are a process more than an entity,

according to CMS and ACL. In Kansas, an ADRC has been established that includes an ADRC Call Center and 11 Walk-in centers, effective November 1, 2012.

ADRCs provide unbiased, reliable information and counseling to individuals with all levels of income.

ADRCs are a visible and trusted place where people can turn for information, assistance and a single point of entry to public long-term support programs and benefits.

What is a fully functioning ADRC? A fully functioning ADRC includes six criteria:

1. Information, referral and assistance 2. Options counseling and assistance 3. Streamlined eligibility determination for

public programs 4. Person centered transition support 5. Consumer populations, partnerships, and

stakeholder involvement 6. Quality assurance and continuous

improvement

Kansas’ ADRC

On September 10, 2012, the State of Kansas awarded a single ADRC contract to the Southwest Kansas Area Agency on Aging (SWKAAA).

SWKAAA subcontracted with the other 10 AAAs to provide a state-wide ADRC.
