Aging and Disability Resource Market
The Resource Market provides citizens with a trusted place for gaining information and assistance for aging and disabled individuals. Trained counselors are available to help individuals with identifying needs and providing information about local resources and support services. Assistance from Resource Center counselors may be obtained by telephone, email or by face-to-face interviews Monday through Friday 8AM-4:30PM.
The resource market is the result of a demonstration grant funded in part from the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, the Administration on Aging and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
