We provide Caregiver support services for those caring for someone over the age of 60, including respite and gap services when funding is available.

Respit or GAP (when available) Respite helps provide a break for the caregiver by getting a homemaker into the home when needed or even placing the recipient in a facility for a short term (usually no longer than 5 days) stay.  Services are limited are are based on a case by case situation.  GAP service is available for assisting in a specific need that a caregiver of the recipient cannot afford in partial or full.  Services vary and are based on a case by case situation. 

We can also link you with other area agencies that may be able to assist you in your needs.
