ADS also offers financial assistance to caregivers through grant funding provided by the Area Agency on Aging. These funds are intended to support caregivers by offering valuable respite for them, while providing their care receivers with on-site program services. In order to qualify for these funds, applicants must be the primary in-home caregiver for a care receiver who is 60 years old or greater. The care receiver must also have cognitive deficits - such as memory loss, problems doing familiar tasks, changes in personality, trouble knowing times, dates, or places - and/or deficits with their daily living activities - such as difficulty bathing, dressing, grooming and overall self care.
