It is intended to help unpaid family caregivers get additional support, allowing them the chance for rest and renewal.
Grant awards can be used to pay for adult day services, to hire a respite care provider, or to hire help for personal care or homemaker tasks. Dementia Respite Grant recipients are also eligible to participate in TCARE specialized assessment and support for caregivers.
