Application process

When a caregiver contacts the network, a caregiver specialist conducts an interview to better understand the caregiver’s current caregiving situation, sources of stress, and stress level.   The interview can be completed by phone. Alternatively, caregivers can download and print a Personal Caregiver Survey and contact a caregiver specialist to discuss next steps.   The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete.
