Placing Local Calls Across the State Line:When you place local calls across the state line from the 913 to the 816 area code (or vice versa), you need to dial the area code before the number (10 digits instead of seven). You don’t need to dial “1” first except for long distance calls.
The Area Agency on Aging hosts your local Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) where people can turn for information, assistance, and a single point of entry to public long-term care support programs and benefits.
ADRCs provide unbiased, reliable information and options counseling to persons eligible for Medicaid Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) for Frail Elderly, Physical Disabilities, and Traumatic Brain Injuries, as well as assessment services for persons considering a move to a nursing facility.
Options Counseling helps older adults and their families assess complex situations and get the right information to access benefits and services.
Private Pay Care Management service is offered through the ADRC. This service assists those who need help in setting up services for seniors in Johnson County.
