Who it's for
The Northeast Georgia Regional Commission (NEGRC) is the Area Agency on Aging for Jasper County. As an Aging & Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) 'No Wrong Door' access point, it connects older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers to in-home care, home-delivered and group meals, transportation, caregiver support, benefits counseling, and the Medicaid Community Care Services Program waiver. Services are for adults 60 and older, with priority for those in greatest need. Call the NEGRC Aging team at 706-583-2546 or 1-800-474-7540.
NEGRC 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.
