The theme of this year's Older Americans Month is “Working Together for Strong, Healthy and Supportive Communities.”
“If Kentucky residents work together, they can create opportunities in their communities to encourage healthier living for all ages,” said Deborah Anderson, commissioner for the Department for Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) in the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS). “Our elders and people with disabilities should have adequate choices about their care and assurances of quality of life to achieve and maintain good health as they age.”
In an effort to meet the needs of Kentucky's aging citizens, DAIL created the Kentucky Resource Market, a one-stop shop for information about aging and disabilities programs and services.
The Kentucky Resource Market helps connect people with services in their own communities. The Resource Market offers information at no charge to consumers by phone or online and is constantly being updated. Visitors to the Resource Market can find county-by-county information about: Adult day care, Assisted living facilities, Health information and services, Home care and assistance, Medicaid and Medicare, Nursing homes, Transportation, Senior centers, Volunteer opportunities, Numerous other resources.
The Resource Market also provides information for people with disabilities. Other resources available throughout the state for elder adults include:
