Title III-E Caregivers Program is directed at primary caregivers of loved ones diagnosed with Alzheimer's or a dementia
related illness. The Respite Program entitles the primary caregiver 10 hours of time each week from caring for their
loved one. This is a free service but the patient must be over 60 years of age for the caregiver to qualify. The
Respite Program is offered in Senior Service Centers in each county. Trained attendants will come into the home to provide
this service.
