Support for Caregivers

Caring for someone you love is meaningful—and sometimes overwhelming. Whether you’re helping an older adult, someone with a disability, or raising a relative’s child, you deserve support too. Delaware offers free and low-cost resources to help you manage the responsibilities of caregiving while also taking care of yourself.

The Delaware Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) is your best first call. We can help you:

  • Understand available services
  • Explore care options
  • Connect with local programs and support groups

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 Delaware? 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?
