This initiative focuses on Georgia’s Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) network, highlighting how individuals access essential services through local Area Agencies on Aging. We discuss key services and programs that aid older adults in maintaining healthy, independent lives, thereby reducing hospital readmissions. Additionally, we explore the Enhanced Services Program (ESP), a vital tool for identifying resources, and emphasize the role of licensed Home Care Providers in serving individuals with mental health diagnoses. Overall, Georgia fosters connections to resources that empower individuals and families.
