Caregiver Support Services

Sometimes we become caregivers by choice. Other times, caregiving shows up unexpectedly and finds us. Either way, having support is key to maintaining your own emotional & physical health.  Whether you're a daughter who does the grocery shopping for your mother, running errands for a neighbor, or are caring for a spouse with a chronic condition, we're here for you. Caregiver Support Services through Office for Aging Services are free, confidential services providing caregivers non-biased information needed to make informed decisions for both you and the person you are caring for.  

WHO IS A CAREGIVER?  

  • Adult family members, 18 years of age or older, providing care to an older adult aged 60 and older with chronic disease or dementia.

  • Older adults, aged 60 or older, living with and providing care to child under the age of 18. 

  • Older adults, aged 60 or older, living with and providing care to an adult (aged 18 to 59) with disabilities. 

Not sure if you identify as a caregiver.  Take the Caregiver Intensity Index at ARCHANGELS: Caregiver Intensity Index- What is your score?  This two minute survey is all it takes to check in on yourself, get your score, and see what's making everything more intense.
