Support for Professional Caregivers

The Age-Friendly Foundation provides financial support for professional caregivers in times of need.

Professional caregivers are in short supply and don’t always receive the recognition they deserve. Despite advances in technology and artificial intelligence, care for older adults is a human services profession. Professional caregivers are on the front line, supporting older adults in their homes as well as in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other long-term care settings.

The Age-Friendly Foundation provides emergency financial assistance to professional caregivers and their families during times of unpredictable hardship. This could be an illness, injury, death in the family, accident or another situation with a demonstrated need. An application for financial assistance may be obtained by contacting the Age-Friendly Foundation.
