In a groundbreaking effort to revolutionize the way seniors and adults with disabilities access care, the Pennsylvania Link to Aging and Disability Resources is making waves across the state with its innovative approach to long-term care support.

Pennsylvania Link is not just a program; it’s a movement committed to improving access to long-term care supports through an integrated network of partners dedicated to expanding community-based solutions. With a focus on promoting consumer-directed decision-making, enhancing efficiency, and elevating the quality of service, Pennsylvania Link is transforming the landscape of care for residents across all 67 counties.

At the heart of this initiative lies the Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC), known as the Link in Pennsylvania. This statewide network of 52 Links is designed to offer a seamless approach to seniors and adults with disabilities seeking assistance with activities of daily living. The Link is not just a service provider; it’s a lifeline for those navigating the complex terrain of care services.

In a move to address the fragmented landscape of care services, Pennsylvania Link has woven a web of collaborations with local partners. This integrated network ensures that individuals receive the support they need, regardless of age, physical/developmental disability, or ability to pay. Through cross-trainings and information sharing, the Link is breaking down barriers, reducing duplication, and responding to the diverse needs of its community.

No wrong door: A statewide gateway to assistance

Pennsylvania Link provides a lifeline for those seeking assistance through its statewide 800 number – 1-800-753-8827. Trained counselors stand ready to guide residents through identifying services, determining eligibility, and seamlessly navigating the application process. It’s a “no wrong door” approach, ensuring that every individual has a direct path to the information and support they need.

Personalized pathways with person-centered counseling

Adding a touch of personalization, the Link offers Person-Centered Counseling (PCC). This free counseling and assistance program takes a detailed approach, crafting plans tailored to individual needs, values, and preferences. PCC sets dates, deadlines, and follow-ups to ensure success, making it a beacon of support for those in need.

Pennsylvania Link to Aging and Disability Resources is not just a program; it’s a community-led initiative that empowers individuals, unifies services, and champions a new era of care.
