State aging and disabilities agencies may coordinate, oversee, and provide Information and Referral/Assistance services to older adults, people with disabilities, family members and caregivers. State No Wrong Door systems and Aging and Disability Resource Center networks often provide infrastructure supports that facilitate access to information, assistance, and resources. To learn more about the structure and governance of state systems, see the State Aging and Disability Agency Profiles available from ADvancing States. Click here for information on state agency leadership and links to each state agency.
See the table below for statewide online resources that can help individuals learn about service options, find programs and services, and connect to local agencies that offer Information and Referral/Assistance. Where a state agency provides a help line telephone number, that information is also included in the table. Additional nationwide resources are 211 (for information and referral), the Eldercare Locator (1-800-677-1116), and the Disability Information and Access Line (888-677-1199).
