Are you a family caregiver for an older adult and/or an adult with a disability? A family caregiver can be a spouse, a partner, an adult child, any relative, friend, or neighbor who provides care and assistance to a loved one due to aging, chronic illness, or a disability, and they are usually not paid for what they do. There are a variety of support and respite programs available. Need more information? Please call us at 703-324-7948, TTY 711.
"If we can’t reach you, we can’t alert you." Now, family caregivers can receive weekly emails, text messages, and voice communication methods to learn about the latest news on caregiving supportive services. These programs include workshops, caregiver webinars, case management, in-home respite, and much more. Subscribe to the program, create an account (or if you already have one, sign into your account), and select Area Agency on Aging/Caregiving.
Are you in need of additional cooling during the summer?
The Senior Cool Care Program is a public-private partnership sponsored by Dominion Energy and administered by the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services through the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging that helps low-income older citizens in our jurisdiction keep cool during summer months. The program runs May 1 through October 31, 2023.
The program provides additional cooling at home, for eligible older adults, age 60 and older. If you are interested in learning more about the program, please call the Aging, Disability & Caregiver Resource Line at 703-324-7948.
