Caregiver Support · Maine · Free

Free private group calendar to coordinate meals, rides, and help among friends and family. A starting point for caregivers needing respite, training, financial assistance, or just somewhere to talk. 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. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
