provides limited funding for family caregiving support programs. This program provides funding to support caregivers or other individuals who are "informal" providers to an older individual.
Eligibility¶
- Applicant age: at least 18
- Care recipient age: at least 60
- Relationship: parent, child, grandparent, other 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 Oregon? Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Does your relationship to the person (parent, child, grandparent, or other relative) count for this program?
- Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (60 or older)?
- 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?
