In Partnership with ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center, the Arizona Caregiver Coalition and Lifespan Respite Care Network will host the 2011 National Lifespan Respite Conference and Grantee Meeting.
LET'S BUILD A BETTER NETWORK!!
November 1st, Glendale, Arizona
A special Pre-Conference Intensive to the the 2011 National Lifespan Respite Care Conference will allow all the stakeholders to come together to build a better network to provide respite care to family caregivers.
As the highlight of the recent National Respite Conference, the new Assistant Secretary for Aging, Ms. Kathy J. Greenlee announced the 12 initial awardees of this newly funded federal program designed to support caregivers by providing a much needed and deserved break. Arizona's award will allow the continued development of the Lifespan Respite Care Program that recently lost its state funding as part of the economic downturn.

Activities funded by the grant will include a public awareness campaign targeted to caregivers needing respite, including development and implementation of a toll-free Respite Hotline. Another benefit of the funding will be the completion and implementation of a caregiver assessment module developed in conjunction with Dr. David Coon from Arizona State University to enhance the current client intake and assessment process used by the Division of Aging and Adult Services. This funding will also provide respite care for approximately 85 caregivers over the three years of the grant project.
