Community-based adult day programs provide daily care and social connection for older adults living with cognitive impairment and dementia.

Respite care provides a break for caregivers to allow them to take time to attend to personal matters, while also providing a safe, caring environment for their loved ones to remain cared for during this time. There may be short term or limited respite care available through the Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL) including grants to support caregivers. The best way to learn about these programs is to connect with the DACL or your local lead agency. Lastly, respite care options exist through many private agencies.
