Caregiver Programs¶

When we care for our caregivers, we are caring for our entire community. That’s why DACL provides a variety of programs and services to support unpaid caregivers to our seniors and adults with disabilities. From caregiver respite programs to support groups, educational programs to case management. You are not alone in your journey—DACL is with you.

Eligibility¶

Relationship: spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, non relative

Questions to ask the program¶

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

Does the person receiving care live in District of Columbia? Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
Does your relationship to the person (spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative) count for this program?
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
