California Health and Human Services was successful in receiving federal grants for ADRC related activities in 2011-12. ADRCs will be participating with ADRCs in other states to develop and test standards for the ADRC Options Counseling service. Options Counseling enables consumers to receive one-on-one decision support as they learn about multiple services and benefits. Options Counseling will be available to consumers regardless of age, disability or eligibility for public programs. In addition, ADRCs in Orange, Riverside, San Francisco and San Diego will focus on expanding current hospital to home care transitions efforts to more diverse and underserved communities.
