National Family Caregiver Support Program -Montgomery County,
In 2000, the Administration on Aging established the National Family
Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP) to provide information and services to
family caregivers in recognition of the tremendous work that they do to
care for their loved ones. Caregivers of any age may benefit from the program.
There are two categories of caregivers who can take advantage of
services:
Caregivers who are caring for someone older than age 60. While many
caregivers are family members, this program also includes caregivers who
are not related by blood or marriage.
Grandparents and other relative caregivers over the age of 60 who are
the primary caregiver for a child age 18 or under.
The priority population includes those with greatest social and economic
need with particular attention to low-income older individuals.
The NFCSP provides assistance to caregivers in five categories of
services:
Information to caregivers about available services from aging
and other resources
Assistance to caregivers in gaining access to services, including
case management
Education, Training, & Supports – individual counseling,
organization of support groups, and caregiver training, educational presentations,
& support groups
Respite Care – to enable caregivers to be temporarily relieved
from their caregiving responsibilities. Services can be provided in-home,
including personal care and chore services, out-of-home, e.g., assisted
living or nursing home, and in day care situations
Supplemental Services – to complement the care provided by caregivers.
Examples include medical supplies, transportation, and other items needed
by families.
