The Area Agency on Aging 1-B (AAA 1-B) Caregiver Coaching Program is a free program that provides mentorship and support for family caregivers. We match people who are caring for an aging or disabled loved one with a compassionate, trained volunteer for one-to-one support. Coaches help identify needs and obstacles, explore and select options, offer encouragement, and strive to build a safe and supportive environment.
The program is designed to meet the needs of caregivers. There is no requirement for a certain number of communications or a specified structure or timeline. Caregivers typically speak with coaches twice a month over the phone, but every caregiver's needs are different. Coaches schedule calls in collaboration with their caregivers.
The AAA 1-B is actively seeking volunteers to enroll as Caregiver Coaches, as well as caregivers interested in participating in the program. Enclosed are Caregiver Coaching program flyers for you to share with your congregation members, program participants, community members, and/or their families.
