The Northwest Georgia Area Agency on Aging is proud to be the Aging & Disability Resource Connection for the 15 counties in Northwest Georgia. We have expanded our comprehensive aging resource database to include hundreds of disability resources. We're here to help you find the resources you need. Call our Gateway Staff at 1-800-759-2963.
As the Aging & Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) for Northwest Georgia, we are always seeking ways to help improve our services to the community. In our efforts to do this, we have established the ADRC Coalition. The ADRC Coalition is a group made up of service providers for aging and disability resources, consumers of aging and disability resources, and other interested parties to help identify resources and gaps in services to the aging and disability populations in Northwest Georgia. Your input is very valuable to us. If you'd like more information on joining the Coalition, please give Karen Nelson a call at 1-800-759-2963.
