This program is designed to support family caregivers throughout the state by awarding one-time financial assistance or reimbursement during a time of need, allowing caregivers temporary relief (respite) or resources for their caregiver journey. The program is for care partners of people diagnosed with dementia and living at home.
Before applying, have you received services from your local Area Agency on Aging (AAA) or Project C.A.R.E.? If not, your first step should be to contact those agencies for respite services.
If you have already consulted with these programs, please continue with the next steps to apply for the Dementia Alliance Caregiver Assistance Program.
SPECIAL NOTE: Our program is funded by private donors and no government funding is collected to administer this program. Therefore, our respite vouchers are a maximum of $500 and are not designed to provide ongoing means of financial support.
