Oregonians looking for information about services to help them safely stay at home and avoid long-term care facilities was one of the leading topics callers asked about in 2013 to the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC). Nearly 63,000 people called either the statewide toll free number or their local community ADRC for assistance. One of the largest group of callers requested information about how to access in-home supports. This would include asking about caregivers, adult day care, transportation, meals, home modifications, services and other essentials to help the individual to stay in their own home. The callers were the individuals themselves, a family member, friend and neighbor or agency representative seeking information, referral and assistance.
