Oregon Family Caregiver Support Program¶
Oregon's Family Caregiver Support Program helps unpaid family members and friends support older adults, people with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders, children being raised by older relatives, and adult relatives with disabilities. Services include local service connection, counseling, support groups, training, respite, and limited supplemental supports, with intake through the Aging and Disability Resource Connection.
Oregon's Family Caregiver Support Program connects caregivers with local services such as home-delivered meals, transportation, or legal assistance; caregiver counseling and support groups; caregiver training; respite care; and limited supplemental services such as assistive technology, home modifications, incontinence supplies, legal assistance, and transportation. Oregon's FCSP standards say Area Agencies on Aging determine which services are needed through a caregiver assessment, and Oregon has 16 AAAs administering and supporting community-based care services. Caregivers can call the Aging and Disability Resource Connection at 855-ORE-ADRC.
