Give yourself a starting place when you need help
Caregiver support is spread across local agencies, insurance counseling, benefit offices, disease organizations, respite programs, legal aid, and national referral services. This printable brings the starting points together without asking you to store sensitive case or identification numbers.
The first page records local names and contacts alongside established national resources. The second page helps track programs already in place, applications underway, possibilities to explore, letter locations, deadlines, and next steps.
Use the guide as a conversation starter
- Begin with the local Area Agency on Aging or a SHIP counselor when you are unsure which program to contact.
- Check only “look into” until the appropriate office confirms the rules and eligibility.
- Record where official letters are kept and add deadlines or required follow-up in the notes section.
Phone numbers and program rules can change. Confirm current details with the official agency before relying on them.
