Aging and Disability Connection

What are the options when aging parents are no longer able to care for adult children with
developmental disabilities?

AgeWise Connection has the answers!

AgeWise Connection has expanded its information and referral services to meet the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Now caregivers, family members and individuals with disabilities can find the public or private services they need by calling the Aging and Disability Resource Connection.

One call connects you to services for both older adults and individuals with developmental disabilities. You can reach the Aging and Disability Resource Connection at 404.463.3333.
