Family Caregiver Support Program

The Family Caregiver Support Program offers assistance to those who are:

• Caring for an adult age 60 or older
• Caring for an adult of any age with Alzheimer’s disease
• Over 60, and caring for a child 18 years of age, or younger, including someone with mental retardation or a developmental disability

Through this program, caregivers can get information, as well as one-on-one assistance to assess their loved one’s needs, identify options, and obtain referral to community-based services.  Training and support services, such as stress management, behavior management, caregiver support groups, and training in hands-on care are also available. 

Respite services can provide temporary relief from care-giving duties.
