SUPPORT SERVICES FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS
If you are caring for an adult age 60 or over, even if he or she is not living with you, then you qualify for these services.

It's amazing to know that others share your concerns!

COUNSELING SERVICES
If you are experiencing stress, relationship difficulties, anger, burnout, or any other problem relating to your role as a family caregiver, we may be able to help.
Under a grant from the National Family Caregiver Support Program, Elderday is able to offer individual and/or family counseling to anyone providing caregiving services to an older adult age 60+ living in Kane County. The person does not have to reside with you or attend Elderday Center.
