The Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) would like to announce that Liberty Healthcare Corporation, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, will develop a Kansas-based team to operate the new statewide Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) beginning in June 2025.
KDADS recently announced the contract award for the provision of a comprehensive ADRC system for public programs, community resources, and aging and disability information to Liberty Healthcare Corporation (Liberty).
The ADRC will be a pivotal resource for older adults and individuals with disabilities in Kansas. Liberty will support the KDADS mission to foster an environment that promotes security, dignity, and independence by providing an enhanced, centralized, and operationally streamlined approach to delivering the information, referrals, and assistance to empower people to make informed decisions about their long-term services and supports (LTSS).
People of all ages, incomes, and disabilities can connect with the ADRC for information and individualized counseling on the full range of Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) options.
Liberty will work closely with KDADS, local Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), family and community supports, and other stakeholders to support the seamless transition of ADRC functions and the achievement of shared goals for the benefit of service recipients.
On June 1, 2025, Liberty will begin processing referral and assistance requests through the existing toll-free number (855-200-ADRC (2372)), website inquiries, and walk-ins to either the main ADRC office or satellite locations. In advance, a public outreach campaign, beginning in May, will communicate new locations for drop-in ADRC services, community partners, and easy ways to connect with the ADRC.
As a leading tech-enabled health and human services management company, Liberty is nationally recognized for solving challenging healthcare problems, improving service delivery systems, and providing increased access to quality services. We do this by delivering expertise in evidence-based practices and data collection activities and providing strategic guidance across diverse care settings, using data-driven decisions, collaborative partnerships, and industry-leading human resource practices to drive measurable outcomes.
Our person-centered, culturally competent approach compassionately and cost-effectively meets the unique needs of individuals where they are and creates opportunities for them to access the knowledge, tools, and services they need to achieve and maintain overall well-being.
