Frequently Asked Questions

I provide as much help as I can for my mother (age 60 or above), but she still seems lonely.  I work full time and have a family, can you suggest any help?

Both you and your mother can get help from the Department of Aging.  Often, people don't identify themselves as caregivers, but they are!  Your mom could benefit from social contacts from Friendly Visitors, to Adult Social Day Care to Congregate meal sites.  You also could benefit from some support services to make sure you don't "burn out".

Please check out the Online Directory of Services for a variety of resources and programs that might be available for you.
