In-Home Respite Care for American Indian and Alaska Native Families

The International Association for Indigenous Aging (IA2), which manages the American Indian and Alaska Native Resource Center for Brain Health,  partnered with HFC in 2021 to provide up to 25 respite care grants for family caregivers of American Indian and Alaska Native people living with memory loss, other cognitive issues, and/or a diagnosis of dementia and/or Alzheimer’s disease.

These respite care grants for family caregivers from American Indian and Alaska Native caregivers of AI/AN families (including Tribal communities, Alaska Native Villages, and urban Indians) were funded by the generous support of the CDC Foundation, which is working to address increased direct service needs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
