RFP-2022-094 - Elder Caregiver Support

The County of Albany is seeking proposals for Elder Caregiver Support as requested by the
Albany County Department for Aging, (ACDFA). The County of Albany will implement a
“multifaceted” system of support services for caregivers.
The Caregiver Support Program is designed to support informal caregivers -- family, friends
and neighbors -- as they carry out their caregiving responsibilities. The goal of this program
is to provide a multifaceted system of support services for informal caregivers of older
people and grandparents and other relatives caring for children. This program helps sustain
informal caregivers in their efforts to care for older people (60+) in Albany County who
have chronic illnesses or disabilities and promotes their ability to remain in their homes and
local communities. For grandparents and other relative caregivers of children, the program
promotes the retention of these children in a nurturing family environment, instead of
placement in foster care.
On-going funding for Elder Caregiver Support Program is solely based on federal funding
allocations and should not be relied upon for future availability.
