Here are some of the services we can offer Caregivers: 

Respite Funding: When caregivers need to take a short break from their responsibilities, in-home care, adult daycare and overnight services are available for their loved one. 

Emergency Support: Extreme problems and unexpected situations can arise, such as loss of housing. Crisis support is offered for these unforeseen problems.

Information and Assistance: Caregivers need a network of support to help them do their job better. Information and assistance connects caregivers to the necessary service agencies that can help. Counseling, support groups, education and training referrals are also available.

Education: Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a six-part educational program that is designed to help caregivers focus on self-care while taking care of older adults, family or friends. Sessions focus on how to lower stress and increase problem solving skills. Call the office near you to find out when a new course will begin in your area. These services and programs are being made available due to the passage of federal legislation called the National Family Caregiver Support Program.
