ADRC Provider Survey: Options Counseling Report - University of 2025

The document is a report prepared for the Alaska Division of Senior & Disabilities Services, focusing on a Provider Survey related to Options Counseling within the Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) system. It evaluates the capacity of ADRC providers to deliver Long Term Support Options Counseling based on six core competencies: determining need, assessing needs and preferences, understanding resources, facilitating self-direction, encouraging future orientation, and following up. The survey results indicate strengths in determining needs and facilitating self-direction but highlight weaknesses in encouraging future orientation and follow-up. Respondents expressed a high interest in further training, particularly in areas such as screening for public programs and self-determination strategies.
