caregiver support

Picture
Being the primary caregiver for a loved one is a special role that creates a deep bond, but the additional responsibilities can increase stress. Aging Care Connections' Caregiver Specialists are trained to help caregivers deal with being a primary caretaker and for caring for themselves. Specialists offer one-on-one support at home or via phone. We listen, we discuss, we guide and we solve problems together.  

Various support groups are offered to meet specific caregiver needs, such as: caregivers of older adults, individuals with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, and grandparents who are raising grandchildren. Occasional respite care is also available in various forms to offer a temporary break from caregiving.
What to expect from a support group?​
The groups meet to share issues, concerns and questions while participating in educational sessions. This allows participants to provide emotional support for other people in the community experiencing the same challenges. Groups are facilitated by a Caregiver Specialist who can also connect participants with community resources to help alleviate some of the stress associated with the role of a caregiver. Click here to learn more about our support groups.
How do individuals sign up?
Please call (708) 354-1323 and ask to speak to a Caregiver Specialist or email info@agingcareconnections.org.
Caregiver Assessment
The Personal Caregiver Survey asks you to reflect on your experiences and rate your response to a series of statements based on identified rating scales in each section.  If you are caring for an older adult and are looking for support; please take the TCARE caregiver screening survey.
