It’s a Good Day at TSA: August
Dear New Caregiver: What I Wish Someone Had Told Me
Dear New Caregiver,
First, let me say this: you are doing something extraordinary. You may not feel like it right now, standing in the kitchen with dishes piled up, a list of phone calls to make, and someone you love calling your name from the other room. But you have stepped into a role that will challenge you, change you, and, with the right support, bring moments of deep connection you’ll never forget.
The Exhale Program
Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS), a wonderful partner to The Senior Alliance, has developed a program to support caregivers called Exhale.
The mission of this program is to empower those in the role of family caregiving who provide daily support to their aging loved ones.
Through the support of ACCESS and in partnership with The Senior Alliance, Exhale is committed to increasing awareness and providing resources to diverse caregiving communities.
Now Available: Direct Care Workers Fund
The Direct Care Worker Needs Fund is available to help direct care workers overcome unexpected hardships that may affect their ability to provide care.
This fund can assist with things like reliable transportation, gas cards, housing support, and other urgent needs. For a limited time, the program is open to direct care workers beyond those serving The Senior Alliance’s participants.
Direct care workers are the backbone of services that allow older adults and people with disabilities to live independently. When unexpected challenges arise, this fund provides a safety net so caregivers can continue doing the essential work our community relies on.
If you have questions, please contact Sarah Draper at 734-516-2390.
Visit our website to access the application for the Direct Care Worker Needs Fund.
