Other Community Resources
In California, eleven Caregiver Resource Centers (CRCs) provide a range of supportive services to family caregivers of adults with disabling health conditions (e.g., Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease). CRCs help caregivers with information, educational programs, and emotional support, as well as planning for and arranging services for a loved one. Most services are free of charge. More information can be found by visiting FCA's list of California's Caregiver Resource Centers.
Many other community services are available to help, including care management services, home-delivered meals, transportation services, temporary overnight care, hospice (for terminally ill individuals), and support groups (for either the caregiver or the ill individual). Your local Area Agency on Aging or senior center can help you locate these.
