Openings In County’s Family Caregiver Support Programs

Potter County Area Agency on Aging has openings in the Family Caregiver Support Programs, which helps those who take care of older relatives or friends, helping them to stay at home and remain as independent as possible.  Reimbursement is available for respite services, so that the caregiver can take a break, letting someone else prepare  meals, help with personal care or clean. Reimbursement is also available for assistive devices (bedside commode, lift chair, etc.) and for home modifications (ramps, grab bars, stair lifts). Reimbursement rates vary, based upon household income. For more information, contact the Area Agency on Aging by calling 814-544-7315 or 1-800-800-2560.
