Caregiver Specialist Program

The Stickney Township Office on Aging provides support for caregivers who care for elderly loved ones. Information and support are available to caregivers, helping them to reduce their stress and improve their situation. The Caregiver Specialist is available for personal consultation, provides for educational opportunities and leads our support group geared towards the family caregiver.

Caring Crew Luncheon

This group is designed for any caregiver/caregivers caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias, to enjoy fellowship with other caregivers, participate in educational programs, and gain knowledge. Group meetings provide peer support and friendship. Lunch is provided. Join us to meet new friends for lunch. You are welcome to bring your loved one with you for a relaxing afternoon of friendship.

Respite

While taking care of a loved one it is important to also give yourself a break. Stickney Township’s respite program provides a needed break from caregiving for informal caregivers. This service is available seven days a week and can be used for as little as three hours, an entire day or even longer when the older adult requires 24-hour care. Trained home care aides provide companionship, supervision, meal preparation and some personal care.

To reach our Caregiver Specialist please call the Louis S. Viverito Senior Center (708) 636-8850.

Use our T-Care screener tool and our Caregiver Specialist will contact you.
