"Caring For Those Who Care" |
| |
 If you are struggling to cope with providing 24 hour care to an elderly family member unable to be left alone, Hillsborough County Aging Services in partnership with the West Central Florida Area Agency on Aging has a number of services to help.
- In-Home Respite Services: A trained respite worker will be scheduled up to 8 hours per week to care for your frail family member while you run errands, enjoy some entertainment away from home, or even take a nap-whatever you need to relax! Services can be scheduled during the weekdays, evenings, or weekends, depending on what is best for you.
- Facility-Based Respite Services: Multiple senior centers throughout the county will be opened on Saturdays to care for frail elders. Simply drop your family member off and go enjoy your day while trained senior center staff provide them stimulating activities, lunch or snacks and the opportunity to visit with other seniors.
- Caregivers Support Services: You can learn from experts how to 'survive' being a 24 hour caregiver. Ongoing support groups and Saturday workshops offering tips on coping skills and other available services will improve the quality of life for you and your frail family member.
Call Aging Services' Central Intake Unit today for more information and to see if you qualify to benefit from these services. (813) 272-5250 |
