Caregiver Institute

The Caregiver Institute at Shepherd’s Center Central promotes and supports the advancement of skills, good health, and resilience of caregivers for older adults.

We help caregivers cope with difficult matters that can complicate daily life—we also find solutions and relief for challenges of aging that involve respite, chronic illness, disability, and poverty.

The Caregiver Institute is a free, coordinated response to the special needs of caregivers for older adults through employee assistance, community partnerships, faith-community collaborations, and individualized caregiver education, planning, and support.
