Are you a caregiver? Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed?
Take this quick and easy caregiver self-assessment questionnaire and talk to a caring professional who can help you better understand and deal with the challenges you are facing in your role as caregiver. The questionnaire uses the results to determine what kind of help the caregiver needs and creates a customized plan to reduce caregiver stress and burnout.
Caregiver Specialists are available to coach family members and friends who are caring for an older adult.

The purpose of respite care is to allow caregivers time to self-care while providing additional supports in the home. AgeLinc can help connect families caring for seniors at home with needed respite and in-home services. If you are a caregiver of someone with dementia living at home, ask AgeLinc if you qualify for additional respite hours through Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care grant funding.
Looking for opportunities to connect and learn as a caregiver? AgeLinc has annual, monthly and special education opportunities for both Caregivers of Seniors and Relative Caregivers of Children. Attend our free annual conferences for Caregivers of Seniors or register for our free monthly Lunch-N-Learn caregiver education series.
