National Family Caregiver Support Program
The focus of this program is on individuals serving as caregivers in our community.
The program is designed to assist caregivers who are caring for family members over the
age of 60, and grandparents or other older relatives who are raising grandchildren under
the age of 18. Assistance provided by the program includes information/resources,
referrals to community programs and limited financial help to provide supplies and
respite care. Support groups and annual conferences for caregivers and grandparents/
older relatives raising grandchildren are also available.
Senior Care Program
The purpose of the program is to help older adults remain in their homes. Senior
Care serves moderate to severe physically impaired persons 65 years or older who are
at risk of entering nursing homes. Senior Care provides screening, assessment, case
management, and financial subsidies. The financial subsidies can help purchase personal
care, chore services, home delivered meals, life emergency response systems, medication
and medical supplies.
