Family Caregiver Support Program
Supports for family and informal caregivers
Overview
Alaska’s Family Caregiver Support Program helps caregivers of all ages who care for someone 60 or older and grandparents 55 or older raising grandchildren.
A caregiver can be anyone who offers support, from a neighbor providing daily check-ins to a family member assisting with daily tasks. Caregiving can be formal or informal and often involves helping with challenges related to aging, disability, illness, or mental impairments.
If you are a caregiver seeking assistance or resources, support is available.
Who qualifies?
The following specific populations of caregivers are eligible to receive services:
- Adult family members or other informal caregivers providing care to individuals 60 years of age and older
- Adult family members or other informal providing care to individuals of any age with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders
- Older relatives (not parents) age 55 and older providing care to children under the age of 18
- Older relatives, including parents, age 55 and older providing care to adults ages 18-59 with disabilities
Included Services:

- Information to caregivers about available services
- Assistance to caregivers in gaining access to the services
