The Caregiver support Program is a case
management program that assists Sacramento County caregivers.
The Caregiver can be a friend, family member, neighbor,
child, or spouse; any age, gender or ethnicity. Our
goal is to help caregivers access coummunity resources
through case management servies, information and referral,
and ongoing support
The caregiver will work with a case manager to develop
a cre plan and access community resources. Case management
services assist with accessing necessary goods and
services, for example, respite, adult day health care,
home safety modification, and incontinent supplies.
If the client does not require case management services,
we can assist with information and referral resources
only.
The Caregiver Support Program is a resource dedicated
to imporving the well being of caregivers. Care giving
can be a joy, but also stressful and exhausting. If
we can promote home and community based care, through
safety and supportive services, our mission is accomplished.
