What is respite care? ➡️ Respite care is a service designed to offer short-term relief to family caregivers. It allows them to take a break, recharge, and attend to their own needs, knowing that their care recipient is in capable hands. Who Can Help? ➡️ Home Care Agencies, Adult Day Care Centers, Family & Friends, and Residential Facilities How can you find it? ➡️ Several programs in the United States focus on providing respite care support for family caregivers: ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center, National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP), Veterans Administration (VA) Caregiver Support, and Alzheimer's Association Respite Care Grants. Arranging respite care involves several important steps, so be sure to assess your needs and do your research so you can plan ahead.

A big THANK YOU to Assemblyman Scott Bendett for taking the time to sit down with us and discuss critical issues around Alzheimer’s and other dementias! Talking points included: * Increasing the AlzCAP grant funding by $2 million. This would be the first increase in a DECADE for a program that provides support groups, education and training, 24/7 helpline support, and more to those living with Alzheimer’s and their #caregivers. * Expanding the Special Needs Assisted Living Residential (SNALR) Voucher Program from 200 vouchers to 500 vouchers. By doing this, more New Yorkers would have the opportunity to #ageinplace keeping them out of nursing homes and helping to maintain their dignity and independence. * The lack of capacity to care for individuals with Alzheimer’s who exhibit “behaviors.” It is heartbreaking that those who are considered more challenging to support are often sent out of state because we do not have the proper means to care for them. By creating an internal program for this population, it would help reduce spending and keep them close to their loved ones, which can have an immeasurable impact on their quality of life. New York State has the second-highest prevalence of Alzheimer’s in the U.S., making it #essential to address these issues.
