Wisconsin's Family Caregiver Support Programs
We're all about family caregivers!
Taking care of someone can be a joy, but it can be hard too — even when it's someone you love. Wisconsin’s Family Caregiver Support Programs — located in every county and tribe in Wisconsin — provide information, support, and resources to people who need help caring for a family member, friend, or neighbor.
Are You Frozen in Time?

Caring for an older person offers opportunities for learning and gratitude -- greater depths of joy, compassion and grief; exploration of a relationship unlike any other; and experiences that help one prioritize what is important and develop a broader vision of life. If you’re a family caregiver, focusing on the frustration, helplessness or anger that can also be part of caregiving can cause you to miss all of the opportunities of the situation.
Seeking Outstanding Caregivers
The Alzheimer’s Association – Wisconsin Network invites nominations recognizing outstanding caregivers in Wisconsin. Awards recognize family caregivers, organizations, a program or agency, professionals, physicians, media representatives, legislators, and/or advocates who serve and support individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders.
