Find an ADRC or Tribal ADRS

Step by step

  2. Ask for information and assistance and say that you want to begin adult long-term care eligibility and enrollment.
  3. Record the worker, date, requested documents, functional-screen plan, financial-eligibility route, and next appointment.

Expected next

An information-and-assistance contact, functional-screen appointment, Medicaid application step, enrollment-counseling event, or written referral.

Save this proof
