Dementia respite grants available
Unpaid family caregivers of those diagnosed with dementia often find it difficult to meet their own needs while caring for their family member. For this reason, Senior Solutions (Council on Aging for Southeastern Vermont) provides Dementia Respite Grants to help caregivers get a break.
These grants, funded by the State of Vermont, help family caregivers pay for respite opportunities.
