The Mississippi Family Caregiver works in partnership with the ten (10) area agencies on aging and local community-service providers to provide five (5) basic services for family caregivers, including:

Information to caregivers about available services;

Assistance to caregivers in gaining access to services;

Individual counseling, organization of support groups, caregiver training to assist the caregivers in making decisions and solving problems relating to their caregiving roles;

Respite care to enable caregivers to be temporarily relieved from caregiving responsibilities; and
