Caring for an aging loved one can be rewarding but also challenging. To ease some of the demands and stress family members can experience when caring for their aging loved ones, here are some support services and resources.
National Family Caregiver Support Program: Helps families provide care for older adults with chronic illnesses or disabilities in their homes. It is available through Area Agencies on Aging & Disability (AAAD).
Respite Care: A temporary break from caregiving for caregivers to take time for themselves.
- Tennessee Caregiver Coalition provides vouchers to help cover the cost of respite care for family caregivers to have breaks.
