Careforth’s Caregiver Support and Resources in North Carolina
Expanding under North Carolina’s Community Alternatives Program for Children (CAP/C) Waiver and the Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) Waiver, Careforth will now support more families caring for loved ones at home. This statewide expansion includes caregivers of adults aged 18 to 64 with disabilities, seniors aged 65 and older through the CAP/DA Waiver, and caregivers of medically fragile and medically complex children aged 0 to 20 through the CAP/C Waiver.
“Becoming a statewide Coordinated Caregiving provider in North Carolina is a privilege as we work to expand support for the state’s growing community of over one million family caregivers,” Careforth Chief Executive Officer Marc Russo said. “Caregivers play an invaluable role in the health and well-being of our families, and this expansion allows us to better serve those caring for a spouse, parent, child, or friend. Together, we can help improve the lives of both family caregivers and their loved ones.”
Careforth connects family caregivers with an expert care team of coaches and care managers who provide guidance on everything from managing daily care and medications to navigating the challenges and stresses of caregiving. Cybil, a North Carolina caregiver in the Coordinated Caregiving program, cares for her 13-year-old daughter, Ava. “Having caregiver support like Careforth has helped me focus on my well-being in order to be a happier and stronger mom, wife, and the best caregiver I can be for my daughter,” Cybil said.
