Caregiver Partner Program

The Coalition’s Caregiver Partner program provides volunteers to help caregivers manage problems they may encounter in taking take care of their loved one. The volunteers will provide this assistance based on the specific need or problem that the caregiver is facing. Help from the volunteer can come in many ways. It could range from staying with the older adult as the caregiver runs errands to helping the caregiver manage the financial matters of the loved one.

In some cases, volunteers will be individuals who have expertise in areas such as finance, health care, community resources, hands-on care, advocacy, and other special areas. All volunteers will be given extensive training. If you are a caregiver and need help with a loved one, contact the Coalition and we will match you with a volunteer.
