Caregiver Focus Groups
The New York State Office for the Aging, New York STate Caregiving and Respite Coalition and the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services will be hosting caregiver focus groups to gain a better understanding of the wants and needs of caregivers to be able to self-direct the respite care provided to them and their loved ones.
This opportunity will provide us with thoughts on how we can best expand our self-directed respite program to better server the caregiver.
What exactly does self-directed care and caregiver-directed care mean? It means the caregiver can choose the type of respite care provided, the provider of the respite care, and when the respite care takes place.
- Three focus groups are scheduled. Each will be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
- Tuesday, June 29 on Zoom
- Wednesday, June 30 on Zoom
- Thursday, July 1 by phone
All participants will receive a $25 Visa gift card.
