Big News for Tennessee Family Caregivers!
Tennessee’s new Caring for Caregivers Act is now in effect!
This new law establishes a pilot grant program to help eligible family caregivers of loved ones living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia. Depending on eligibility and available funding, caregivers may receive financial assistance for things like:
Respite care
Medical equipment and supplies
Home modifications that improve safety and accessibility
Other caregiving expenses
As someone who has spent years working in healthcare and senior care, I know caregiving is one of the most selfless jobs a person can have. It can also be emotionally, physically, and financially overwhelming.
If you or someone you know is caring for a loved one, you don’t have to navigate it alone. My goal through Rebecca Kiger Consulting is to connect families with resources, answer questions, and help make the journey a little easier.
