The Catholic Charities Indianapolis Caregiver Support Program offers caregivers of older adults support groups, minor home modifications, massage therapy and assistance in identifying local and national resources. Any family caregiver of an older adult is eligable for services. Contact Monica Woodsworth at 317-261-3378 or [email protected] for more information.
Caregiver support groups are for family and friends caring for adults aged 60 and older. Caregiving can be emotionally and physically demanding. The groups are a way for individuals to meet, share with and learn from other caregivers. Support group benefits can include feeling less isolated, speaking honestly without being judged, improving coping skills, and increasing knowledge of resources. Registration required.
Support services are made possible with funding from CICOA Aging and In-Home Solutions.
