For caregivers

Support for the person doing the caring.

Caring for an aging or chronically ill loved one can be one of the most important things a person does, and one of the hardest. Senior Services connects family caregivers to relief.

What's included

  • Caregiver support

    Resource and caregiver specialists connect family caregivers to services that ease the load and reduce caregiver stress, including a free caregiver support group that meets monthly.

  • Respite through other programs

    The Senior Companion Program, Homemaker Program, and Personal Care Program each give a family caregiver time back, by putting paid or volunteer support directly in the home.
