How Austin families actually use this
The Aging and Disability Resource Center of the Capital Area at 855-937-2372, weekdays 8 to 5. It is designed as the single entry point for long-term services and supports, which means one call rather than working out which of a dozen agencies applies.
The ADRC covers the same ten counties as the Area Agency on Aging and can help with benefits screening, Medicaid interest lists, in-home service options and referrals. Walk-ins are accepted but appointments are strongly suggested.
If it is after hours or you want a broader net, 2-1-1 Texas covers the same ground more generally and operates outside business hours.
