Alzheimer's Foundation of America Offers Support Through Member Organization for Family Respite Care Services

The Alzheimer's Foundation of America is a national nonprofit organization based in New York that focuses on providing optimal care to individuals with Alzheimer's disease (and related illnesses) and their families. The foundation unites more than 1,200 member organizations across the United States that provide hands-on programs.

AFA's Family Respite Care Grant is designed to help alleviate the cost of respite care for families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. Funds may be used for in-home care, adult day programs, or other types of respite.

Individuals may only apply for this grant through one of AFA's participating nonprofit member organizations. Individuals may only obtain grant applications by contacting a participating AFA nonprofit member organization; only applications mailed from that member organization's office will be accepted.

Family Respite Care grants are offered in the spring and fall of each year. The annual deadline for the fall cycle is November 1; the deadline for the spring cycle is May 1.
