Caregiver Information

Do you ...

Help an elderly neighbor with his or her shopping?

Are you a Grandparent who is "parenting the 2nd time around"?

Pay the bills and keep the finances straight for your parents?

Have an ailing or declining spouse that you dedicate your love and your time to?

Chances Are ...

Whether you’ve thought about it much or not, you have joined the ranks of some 54 million people in our communities who are informal, or unpaid, caregivers. Without them, our economy and our society simply could not cope. But, often caregivers have questions or encounter problems.

We are here to help. You are not alone, and answers to your questions and problems may be only a website away. If you do not find help with your concern, check your local Information and Assistance provider for further assistance.

A4AA is pleased to introduce an online Caregivers' Directory of Community Resources in Sacramento County. A directory of 234 agencies in Sacramento County, organized by 19 categories of service, can help you find valuable information, services, and programs. An important feature of the directory is the inclusion of live links to each agency's website.

Caregivers' Directory of Community Services in Sacramento County

A companion brochure, A Guide to the Internet for Caregivers and Seniors, Finding Community Resources Online, offers information about the basics of the world wide web (www), useful web sites for learning about the web, long distance caregiving, and helpful caregiving web sites.

To request a print copy of either the Caregivers' Directory or the companion brochure, call the A4AA office at (916) 486-1876.

A4AA wishes to thank Lori Howton for developing the Caregivers' Directory and the CSUS Gerontology Program for its support.
