LTADD reminding family caregivers of available services on National Caregivers Day

February 20 is National Caregivers Day, an opportunity to recognize the dedication and hard work of those who care for patients in homes, hospice programs, and long-term care facilities.

The Lincoln Trail Area Development District says the day is also an opportunity to celebrate the dedication of family caregivers.

“Providing care for a loved one is a rewarding yet demanding journey, and LTADD is committed to ensuring no one has to do it alone,” said LTADD Older Americans Director Tabitha French. “Caregivers are the backbone of long-term care in our region. Our goal is to provide the resources and professional support necessary to help them maintain their own well-being while helping their loved ones stay safe at home.”

LTADD says their Aging and Disability Resource Center is a “one-stop shop” for information and resources for caregivers in the district. Key services available include respite care, case management, participant directed services, SHIP/benefits counseling, and in-home support.
