Arkansas Caregivers is here to support Arkansans who provide care for an elderly loved one at home. The Area Agencies on Aging who formed Arkansas Caregivers are aging experts. We believe that information, advice and support are vital services for today's caregivers.
Aging experts reached through Arkansas Caregivers serve as a clearinghouse of information about services for older people. They will answer caregivers' questions about services and help locate them. They will listen to caregivers' needs and match those needs with resources and opportunities. With advice and support from aging experts, caregivers are less isolated.
Arkansas Caregivers is committed to providing free and easy access to this information and support. Please call us at 1-866-651-2273 or follow the link to the Area Agency on Aging nearest you.
