Get Connected!
Many individuals with disabilities often find it hard to locate services and/or programs that are available to assist them in meeting their various needs.

With the help of the following program, residents throughout the state of Tennessee can get connected to the appropriate programs and services they need lead full and productive lives:
In an effort to help individuals know about the resources available in their area and to make informed decisions about long-term and short term care, the ADRC offers residents a valuable tool through their website, Tennessee Connection.
Tennessee Connection is an aging and disability resource connection website provided through the Tennessee Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC). The website, www.tnconnection.org, provides information and assistance to older persons, adults with physical disabilities, caregivers and professionals looking for services or programs available throughout Tennessee. Through the website, individuals can find organizations and businesses in their area that provide products, services and facilities to assist them and their needs. Resources can be searched and found on the website by location, special need or by the type of service an individual may need. Those who are unsure of the services they need can use the “Assess My Needs” tool to determine the services they may need.
Individuals can also speak with trained Aging and Disability Information and Assistance Specialists. The Specialists are available to provide individuals with one-on-one information, referrals, guidance and counseling in considering the choices that are available for them.
For more information about Tennessee Connection visit www.tnconnection.org or speak with an Information and Assistance Specialist at 1-866-836-6678.
