West Virginia Aging & Disability Resource Centers

In 2003 the U. S. Administration on Aging awarded a three-year grant to the State of West Virginia to establish two pilot Aging & Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs), targeting seniors who are 60+ years of age and adults with physical disabilities. These pilots served citizens in Marion and Ohio counties. In 2006, West Virginia was awarded a two-year extension to the grant, and services were expanded to five additional counties—Hancock, Brooke, Marshall, Wetzel, and Taylor.
