Support for Volunteer Caregivers

Are you a volunteer caregiver living in King County?


King County Caregiver Support Network provides free consultations, advice, and coaching to help the caregiver maintain their own well-being. Network providers can also order respite care-services that provide caregivers with time away from the responsibilities of ongoing care-on a sliding-fee scale. Go to www.kccaregiver.org for more information.
