Home Safety & Housing Options
Along with personal care services, the ADRC of the Wolf River Region can discuss options for helping individuals maintain independent living that include personal emergency response systems (Lifeline is an example), home delivered meals, transportation, and much more. An Information and Assistance Specialist in your county can discuss each option available to you.
Additionally, each county has its own elderly and disabled housing options. The ADRC can assist in connecting interested applicants with low-income housing options in their area, including who to call to discuss availability and where to apply.
