Do you help an older adult? Being a caregiver can be very rewarding, but also has its challenges. There is help available through our Senior Center. Becky Allard is a licensed Social Worker from Senior Community Services who is available for one-on-one support through phone calls, texts, emails, virtual meetings and face to face meetings. Becky can help you find resources to make life easier or work through challenging situations. If you would like to connect with other caregivers, Becky has several group options. Drawing from experiences of others and knowing you’re not alone can be invaluable. If you have questions about Caregiver Support, contact Becky at 612-804-0968 or email her at b.allard@seniorcommunity.org. The caregiver services program is supported in part by the Central MN Council on Aging as part of the Older Americans Act Program.
