The Caregiver Support program targets individuals of any age who are caring for someone age 60 plus, and grandparents (age 55+) who are raising their grandchildren* (under 18 years old).

The Program provides:

• Information about available services
• Assistance in gaining access to services
• Individual counseling, support groups, and training to assist caregivers in making decisions and solving problems
• Respite care to temporarily relieve caregivers of their caregiving duties and responsibilities
• Limited supplemental services that complement the care provided by caregivers, such as:
  • Adult Day Care
  • Institutional Respite
  • Homemaker/Personal Assistance
  • Health Maintenance
  • Residential Repair
  • Transportation
  • Home Delivered Meals
  • Emergency Response

All supportive services are available on a donation basis.
