Each ADRC is funded via a contract with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. The ADRC contract describes the services to be provided by and the organizational and procedural expectations for aging and disability resource centers. Taken together, the requirements in the ADRC contract define a "franchise model" for aging and disability resource centers. The Department is purchasing a set of resource center services that are intended to be consistently available to citizens throughout the State.
