Caregiver Consultations
Need an in-depth conversation with a social worker about the caregiving needs of a loved one? Free one-hour consultations are available through ElderLink. Call 703-324-5374, TTY 711, to request a Caregiver Consultation.

Caregiver Virtual Support Call
ElderLink hosts a Virtual Support Call for Caregivers on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7:00-8:00PM. Focuses on a different topic each month and provides a convenient, safe space for caregivers to learn, share, and connect with one another. Registration is required. Register for the Caregiver Virtual Support Call.

Exploring the Dimensions of Aging through Virtual Reality
This unique training opportunity which allows participants to “see through the eyes” of older adults is available through a new virtual training series called Exploring the Dimensions of Aging through Virtual Reality. The training series was developed by Embodied Labs and simulates what it is like to be an older adult encountering various challenges in everyday situations. 75-min facilitated virtual sessions focus on how social isolation impacts an older adult, the early signs and progression of Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease, how to navigate caregiver burnout, and much more. Register for Exploring the Dimensions of Aging. 

Volunteer Respite
The Volunteer Respite Program is designed to give caregivers of older adults a temporary break from their caregiving duties. Trained volunteers provide up to 6 hours per month of companionship and supervision, no personal care provided. There are no income requirements for this program and no fee for service. Eligibility criteria include an assessment of the older adult’s physical/cognitive needs.


For more information or to request a service, please call the ElderLink Intake Line at: 703-324-5374, TTY 711.
