Caregiver Support · District of Columbia · Free

Caregiver support, research, and training programs to help family caregivers. Relevant for long-distance caregivers coordinating care from another state or country. Most programs include needs assessment, care planning, respite vouchers, and access to support groups. Burnout is the leading cause of nursing home placement, not the senior's medical condition. Respite isn't a luxury, it's a placement-prevention tool. Open at no cost to D.C. seniors and the families supporting them.
