LINKAGES can help older adults and their family members with disabilities.
LINKAGES is a unique program that assists seniors who have adult children with disabilities to address the issues, needs and concerns of their family. Professional staff can help families to explore resource options and offer their expertise on service coordination, advocacy, future planning and government benefits.

Caring for a loved one can be both a rewarding and stressful experience. In caring for others, we often struggle to find time to care for ourselves. This therapeutic group will meet twice-monthly and provide a safe space for caregivers aged 60+ to explore issues related to caregiving, better understand how prior life experiences can impact relationships in the present, and enhance coping skills through mutual support. Participation requires advance screening and evaluation to be billable to Medicare and other insurance. |
