In many instances, older adults and their families simply do not know where to turn when in need or what programs are available…one answer is this service, commonly referred to as
I & R, which promotes access to other services by providing concrete information to clients about available services or community resources (ie, names, addresses and telephone numbers), as well as providing the client with a referral to an appropriate agency to receive the needed or necessary service. In Region 5 (the counties of Cheyenne, Elbert, Kit Carson and Lincoln), this is provided directly by the Area Agency on Aging though a system of senior services coordinators located in each county.
