Aging & Disability Resource Center of Vilas County – The ADRC of Vilas County (formerly the Commission on Aging) offers many services to assist any person age 60 or over. They can be reached at 715-479-3625 or 1-800-374-1123. Aging and Disability Resource Centers are welcoming and accessible places where older people and people with disabilities can obtain information, advice and help in locating services or applying for benefits.

Smart911 allows citizens to provide the additional details that 9-1-1 call takers may need in order to assist them during an emergency. When you dial 9-1-1 today the information received by the 9-1-1 call center can be limited based on the type of phone you are calling on. With Smart911, anytime you make an emergency call from a phone registered with your Safety Profile, the 9-1-1 systems recognizes your phone number and automatically displays your profile on the screen of the call taker who receives your call.
At a time when you may be panicked, or unable to communicate, or it could be unsafe to communicate, Smart911 ensures that the details you would need to tell 9-1-1 are immediately available in the event you cannot verbally provide them. Smart911 is free, private and secure.
