National Family Caregiver Support Program - U.S. Territories

The National Family Caregiver Support Program provides caregiver support services through grants to states and territories. In the U.S. territories, the aging network can fund information, access assistance, counseling, support groups, caregiver training, respite care, and limited supplemental services for family and informal caregivers.

Territory-administered caregiver support funded through the Older Americans Act Title III-E National Family Caregiver Support Program. Services can include caregiver information, help accessing services, counseling, support groups, training, respite care, and limited supplemental services. Availability and local intake details vary by territory; use the Eldercare Locator or the territory State Unit on Aging to find the local contact.

Eligibility

  • Relationship: spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, non relative

Questions to ask the program

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

  • Does the person receiving care live in American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
  • Does your relationship to the person — spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative — count for this program?
  • Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
  • What documents do you need from us to start an application?
  • Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
