NFCSP offers support services to family members who provide care for an elderly family member in the home. Program services are designed to help caregivers with their sometimes-stressful daily caregiving responsibilities. Caregivers can benefit from services such as: information and follow-up regarding services and resources, temporary respite, support groups, caregiver training and counseling services. NFCSP even has funds available to provide supplemental services on a limited basis, such as chore services, homemaking and personal care.
