National Family Caregiver Support Program
National Family Caregiver Support Program provides information, referral, assistance, and caregiver support services to informal family caregivers of people age 60 and older and older relative caregivers.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Texas?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does your relationship to the person — other relative — count for this program?
- 03
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 04
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 05
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- 06
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 07
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
