Through a grant from the National Family Caregivers Support Program (NFCSP), the Caregivers Program serves family members caring for Baltimore County adults over age 60, as well as grandparents over age 55 with primary care responsibility for grandchildren.
The Baltimore County Department of Aging (BCDA) Caregivers Program offers a variety of services and resources to help family caregivers to provide good care for their relatives, while also taking care of themselves.
Family Caregiver's Booklet
Family Caregiving: The Art of Caring for Your Older Relative (PDF) is a 48-page guide developed and published by BCDA. Within the guide’s 20 chapters, readers will find helpful information to assist with the challenges of caring for an older relative, while also taking care of themselves. Paper copies of the booklet can be requested by calling Maryland Access Point (MAP) of Baltimore County at 410-887-2594.
Consultations
Caregivers Program Specialists offer free individual Consultations to eligible family caregivers who would like support, guidance and resources regarding the care of their older relative.
