Alabama Tombigbee Regional Commission has a division called Aging and Disabilities Resource Connection within the agency. The ADRC outreach plan will strive to make ADRCs a highly visible and a trusted place where consumers can turn for information on the full range of long term support options and single point of entry access to information on public long term support services and benefit information. The ADRC will conduct outreach to ensure that the general public is fully aware of the ADRC and its role in the community long term support system. This outreach plan should create a strong incentive for providers and other organizations serving the target populations to learn about the value of the ADRC, make referrals, or become partners with the AAA in delivery of ADRC services“(Area Agency on Aging 2017).

Alabama Tombigbee Regional Commission regulates through information and awareness toward long term care. ATRC also utilizes quality assurance and evaluation as a goal tracker and a tool to ensure that the agency remain in compliance with agency policy and procedures.
