Caregiver ProgramBecoming
a caregiver may be one of the most important roles you will undertake in
your lifetime. It is neither a role in which most of us are prepared, nor
is it an easy role. This Caregiver Program is designed to help the
caregivers. A caregiver is anyone who is an unpaid care provider for an
older adult. The caregiver program provides assistance with information,
support groups, respite care and supplemental services. The caregiver
program is also designed to assist grandparents raising their
grandchildren. Please call 1-800-432-7422, for more information on
eligibility and services. Caregiver support groups currently meeting
