The Office of Aging and People with Disabilities (APD) provides services to older adults and people with disabilities. APD serves about 3,500 older adults who seek to remain in their homes through Oregon Project Independence; more than 35,000 older adults and people with disabilities per month who receive long-term care services paid through Medicaid each month; about 212,000 people seeking Older Americans Act services; about 180,000 people in need of direct financial support services; and more than 43,000 individuals who receive a Social Security Disability determination. In addition, more than 44,000 people live in APD-licensed long-term care facilities. APD also fields about 50,000 calls from individuals in Oregon seeking to report abuse or neglect, or requesting information and referral services from Adult Protective Services.
APD program units include the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) of Oregon, a public-private partnership streamlining consumer access to the aging and disability service delivery system. The ADRC is free and provides information and assistance to help people make informed decisions about their care.
Employees from both APD local offices and Area Agencies on Aging provide direct consumer services and determine eligibility of older adults and people with disabilities for services.
