LTCA of Enid Area Agency on Aging has funding currently available for family caregivers who may need help getting a break from their caregiving responsibilities. The caregiver respite program has funding available for caregivers of seniors who require assistance with activities of daily living.

When a caregiver does not have an opportunity to get an occasional break from their caregiving duties, they can experience caregiving fatigue and burnout. Respite vouchers allow them to hire someone to take over for a short period of time. They can go to their own medical appointments, run errands, even take a walk or a nap if that’s what they need. Just having a little time to call their own can allow them to take a breath and recharge.

The application process is easy. Due to Covid and practicing social distancing, all the paperwork can be completed by phone at this time. Just call LTCA of Enid Area Agency on Aging at 580-234-7475 and speak with Twila Doucet Caregiver Coordinator. We are here to help.
