Information & Assistance

 Options Counseling

Options Counseling is a service provided to people who want information in order to make informed choices about long-term care options. When meeting with individuals and their families, an I&A Specialist will review the individual’s personal history, preferred lifestyle and goals for the future; and they will engage in conversation about the full range of long-term care options available to the individual. This includes information about available services to help people stay at home longer and all of those leading up to and including nursing home placement. In addition, the I&A Specialist will provide people with information about opportunities to maximize independence and self-reliance. This conversation includes ways people can use their private resources or access public(Long Term Care) funding to meet their needs.

Many changes in disability services occur when a student is between the age of 18 and 21. I&A Specialists at the Aging & Disability Resource Center can assist in answering questions you may have.
