Partners in Caring
Caring for someone with Alzheimer's Disease is a full-time job. The Alzheimer's Respite Program offers several options for individuals and their caregiver's needing a break. For instance:
- In-home respite each week
- A 24-hour stay in a residential care facility
- Up to two full weeks of overnight respite care at a residential facility or home
- Assistance with finding Adult Day Care
- Making home modifications
Call SeniorsPlus at 1-800-427-1241 to find out if you're eligible to receive paid, respite services. Typically, a family is allowed an annual cap of $3800 in services. The family is responsible for a co-payment of 20% and SeniorsPlus funds the remaining 80%. Waivers of co-payments may be requested.
Alzheimer's Education and Alzheimer's Support
The Alzheimer's Respite Coordinator specialist is available to provide technical information about Alzheimer's Disease. We work with caregivers and their families to understand the disease and its progression and we can also connect you with a local support group of caregivers or an educational seminar.
