Wyoming Family Caregiver Support Program

Wyoming offers family caregiver support through the Wyoming Department of Health Aging Division, Community Living Section, and the Wyoming Aging and Disability Resource Center. The National Family Caregiver Support Program can include respite support, support group connections, and help with specific needed services. ADRC navigators can help caregivers explore options, plan for current or future needs, and find respite or other caregiver resources.

Wyoming's National Family Caregiver Support Program helps adults age 18+ who care for someone age 60 or older, or for someone of any age with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia condition. Help can include respite support, support group connections, and assistance with specific needed services. The WDH caregiver intake form records income-screening amounts from $12,876/year for a family of 1 to $26,496/year for a family of 4 and lists the WDH Aging Division contact as 1 (800) 442-2766.

Eligibility

  • Care recipient age: at least 60
  • 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 Wyoming? — 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 the person receiving care in the covered age range (60 or older)?
  • 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?
