Well Spouse Association

Caregiver Support · Rhode Island · Free

Support for spouses and partners of people with chronic illness or disability. Useful for caregivers managing dementia, chronic illness, post-stroke recovery, or end-of-life care at home. Respite hours can typically be used for in-home aides, adult day care, or short-term residential stays. The National Family Caregiver Support Program is federally funded and runs in every state — it's the backstop when private resources fall short. Free of charge — no eligibility paperwork required to call or browse.
