Our Caregiver Program Provides:

Information and Assistance:
Answers to questions and requests for information through the COAAA and the county partners to address the needs and concerns of caregivers and their families.

Counseling:
Through each county partner, caregivers are eligible for telephone or in-home consultation to assist with the complex issues of providing care. A professional can provide one-on-one help to caregivers with difficult needs.

Education and Training:
COAAA is able to bring its “Caregiver's Toolbox” series of workshops to any of our eight counties. These workshops are free of charge. Please call to find out if trainings are currently scheduled in your county or to make arrangements for us to come to your county. Partners may offer other types of training and education sessions as well.

Respite Services:
Short-term services to alleviate caregiver stress are also available. Respite that encompasses services such as institutional respite, traditional respite, or overnight respite can be accessed through the county partners.

Supplemental Services:
These services allow flexibility to partners to meet the diverse and sometimes unseen needs of caregivers. Emergency assistance in the form of durable medical equipment, purchasing medications, or assisting with caregiver travel are some examples.
