Mission Statement

The Mission of the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Sheboygan County is to empower and support seniors, people with disabilities, and their families to ask for help, find a way to live with dignity and security, and achieve maximum independence and quality of life.

Aging and Disability Resource Centers are welcoming and accessible places where older people and people with disabilities and their family and friends, can obtain information, advice, and help in locating services or applying for benefits. They provide a central source of reliable and objective information about a broad range of programs and services and help people understand and evaluate the various options available to them.
