LifeLinks for Family Caregivers

LifeLinks for Family Caregivers is designed to meet the increasing demands for information on eldercare by providing information on the services and resources that are available in the community. LifeLinks for Family Caregivers is an educational outreach program to assist family caregivers by providing information on aging, caregiver issues and available resources within Allegheny County. Information is also available for long distance caregiving.

This program is targeted to:
  • Those currently caring for a loved one,
  • Those anticipating that responsibility in the future, and
  • Older adults themselves.

    Presentations occur on a monthly or weekly basis depending on the preference of the host library or corporation. Each presentation has been designed to address a major area of concern:
  • Caring for your loved one and yourself
  • Keeping your loved one safe at home
  • Healthy aging
  • Living options
  • Legal issues
  • Community and medical resources

    This program is brought to you by ACLA in partnership with LifeSpan, a non-profit agency that initiates and monitors the delivery of supportive services necessary for older adults to remain safely in their own homes.
