Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) Aging & Independence Services — the designated Area Agency on Aging and Aging & Disability Resource Connection for metro Atlanta
Who it's for
The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) is the Area Agency on Aging for DeKalb County, serving older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers through its Empowerline service. ARC's aging team is a No Wrong Door / Aging & Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) access point: one call connects you to in-home care, home-delivered and group meals, transportation, caregiver support, benefits screening, and the Medicaid Community Care Services Program waiver. Services are for adults 60 and older, with priority for those in greatest need. Reach Empowerline at 404-463-3333.
Empowerline / ARC is the ADRC entry point to Older Americans Act and state aging services for adults 60+. Specific services depend on an individual needs assessment and local funding, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
