Caregiver Support Program
The Caregiver Support Program provides resources and support that will help you at every phase of your caregiving journey. We support caregivers of all ages who are caring for someone 50 or older and help you maintain your well-being as you care for a parent, spouse, or loved one.
Caregiving Starts at Any Age
Many individuals find themselves in the unfamiliar position of providing care for aging loved ones or addressing their own needs as they age.
We offer assistance by phone, in person (by appointment), and through our support groups.
Our team provides supportive counseling and referrals for services such as in-home care, assistance in moving an elderly parent locally from another state or city, hospice, housing (including independent living, assisted living, and nursing facilities), transportation resources, housekeeping services, legal services, end of life planning, and mental health services.
In addition, we conduct seminars and workshops to provide caregivers with vital resources and information.

Spousal Support Group
Approximately 3.2 million caregivers are spouses in America today. Spouses spend more hours each week, doing more intense tasks with less outside help than any other family caregiver. Join our virtual caregiver support group for those who are caring for a senior. This group offers opportunities to share experiences of the caregiving journey, learn about resources available, as well as give and receive support.
3rd Tuesday of every month from 11:30am- 1:00pm

Book a Care Consultation
Care Consultation services are tailored to provide comprehensive guidance for a caregiver. Our devoted Caregiver Support Specialists are here to offer personalized assistance, aiding individuals, and families in navigating the complexities of caregiving. In a care consultation, you can expect recommendations for addressing identified challenges, guidance on connecting with suitable resources, and development of a personalized care plan to facilitate the management of daily activities and essential services.
We Partner with Faith Communities
When congregation members struggle to care for aging loved ones, they often turn to their faith. Spiritual leaders are some of the best and most trusted resources individuals and their families rely on. The Senior Source’s Caregiver Support Program offers supportive resources and tools specifically designed for members of ALL faith communities to support the older adults in their congregation.
We are happy to offer presentations on resources and tools specifically designed to support caregivers who are faith community members. Let us know how we can support you.
