The purpose of the Resource Directory for Older Adults and Persons with Disabilities in the Atlanta Region is to enable consumers and their caregivers to have access to a tool containing information about service providers which they can use to connect to local resources and services in the community. Resource information contained in the directory includes services that may be offered by government, provided for a fee, covered through insurance or offered at no cost to the user. Resources in the directory are intended for information purposes only. The organizations listed in the directory may not be inclusive of all providers available in the marketplace.
