Through funds awarded to the Central Arkansas Area Agency on Aging, Alzheimer's Arkansas is distributing grants to support family caregivers living in their six-county service area.

​

This $500 grant is allocated for a family member or friend who is caring for someone with a chronic illness to take a break. But what does that mean, exactly?

​

If your loved one is awarded the grant, you may choose a home care company like us to care for your loved one, allowing you to get out of the house, run errands, get a much-needed massage, whatever you need to do to take care of yourself during this process!

​

The grant can be awarded to one care recipient (your loved one) twice per fiscal year (July 1-June 30), but families must wait 6 months before requesting a second grant. 

​

The care recipient (your loved one) must:

• Be 60 years of age or older

• Live in Pulaski, Saline, Monroe, Prairie, Lonoke or Faulkner county

• Have a diagnosis of any chronic illness that requires a caregiver

• Not receive like-services funded by other sources (Medicaid, Medicare, AR Choices, etc.)
