Description
Caring for Caregivers is a Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging pilot program that provides grants to family caregivers of eligible family members. Its purpose is to offset eligible expenses incurred by caregivers, focusing on the costs of caring for family members rather than supporting research or a separate community project.
The pilot operates through Tennessee’s nine Area Agencies on Aging and Disability (AAADs), which provide local administration during the program period. Family caregivers should contact their local AAAD for eligibility information and details about accessing assistance.
