Aging
and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) serve the general public and offer
information and assistance on issues affecting
older people, people with disabilities and their families.
The Family Care benefit is available through Managed
Care Organizations (MCOs) in a growing number of counties. (Map
of service areas.)
MCOs serve people in three primary target
groups who have a
long-term care condition expected to last for more than 90 days. The three
Family Care target groups are:
-
Frail Older Adults
(65 years or older)
-
People with Physical Disabilities
(18 years or older)
-
People with Developmental or Intellectual Disabilities
(18 years or older)
(ADRCs and MCOs can begin planning for
children with physical, developmental or intellectual disabilities prior to their
18th birthday.)
People with dementia and people with a terminal
condition may also be eligible for Family Care.
As
of March 1, 2013, there were 36,741 people enrolled in
Family Care. View current enrollment
