About Us

Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) are the first place to go with your aging and disability questions. The ADRC of the Lakeshore is a place for older people and people with disabilities, and their families, to get information in Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties. The ADRC is the community’s bridge to support, where you are able to obtain information about caregiving, the Family Care Program, insurance coverage, the IRIS program, long term care, medication coverage, transportation, and much more. The ADRC can assist you in determining eligibility for these, and other public benefit programs.

Information provided about service providers is intended for information purposes only. The ADRC of the Lakeshore does not license service providers, nor guarantee the quality of service they provide. Therefore, our role is not to endorse or recommend any provider over another, but to assist individuals in making an informed choice. The decision to use any service provider must be made solely by the customer and/or appropriate representative.

For more information on how to schedule an appointment, call us at 1-877-416-7083 or Contact Us. We will respond to all messages within one business day.

The ADRC of the Lakeshore has the following goals for our 2025-2027 Aging Plan:

To increase outreach efforts so more Manitowoc and Kewaunee County residents become familiar with our programs and services.
To decrease the impact of social isolation and loneliness of our community members aged 60 years and older by arranging an event to help them connect with one another and create new relationships.
To offer culturally authentic Hmong meals to Senior Nutrition Program participants using the Voucher Program, in Manitowoc County.
To offer nutrition education through our monthly menus by highlighting certain foods and why they are important to a healthy lifestyle.
To create a “Family Caregivers Resource Connection Meeting” where caregivers can meet and share different community resources with one another.
To hold a one-day event in both Manitowoc and Kewaunee counties for new or existing Family Caregivers to learn about the different stages along the caregiver journey, utilizing the Caregiver Roadmap as a guide.
To increase the number of participants signing up for our evidence-based prevention programs by 5% by December 31, 2027.
