Family Caregiver Support Program
The Maryland Family Caregiver Support Program is administered by Upper Shore Aging, Inc. in Caroline, Kent, and Talbot counties. Caregiver Services include information, assistance, counseling, respite funds, and support groups.
Studies show that Caregiver Support Services can reduce caregiver depression, anxiety, and stress and enable them to provide care longer, thereby avoiding or delaying the need for costly institutional care. Family caregivers typically include spouses, adult children, relatives and friends, and they are the major source of unpaid help for older and disabled adults living in communities across the state.
For more information about the Family Caregiver Support Program, contact Mary Sellers, NFCSP Manager.
