Caregiver Respite Care and Counseling | Area Agency on Aging for Lincolnland

Allows caregivers time to self-care while providing additional supports in the home. Helps connect families caring for seniors at home with needed respite and in-home services.

Additional respite hours may be available to caregivers of someone with dementia living at home, through Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care grant funding.

Offers an online caregiver self-assessment questionnaire. Caregivers may talk to a caring professional who can help them better understand and deal with the challenges they are facing in their role as caregiver. The questionnaire uses the results to determine the kind of help the caregiver needs and creates a customized plan to reduce caregiver stress and burnout.

Caregiver Specialists are available to coach family members and friends who are caring for an older adult.
