Mapping Caregiver Navigation Services

Join USAging to learn all about caregiver navigation and how to help caregivers connect to the right services at the right time.

This session will feature key insights and promising opportunities from USAging’s environmental scan to enhance caregiver navigation across the Aging Network. 

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand the concept and service components of caregiver navigation provided by the Aging Network through Older Americans Act-funded Family Caregiver Support Programs.

• Identify strengths and opportunities to enhance caregiver navigation services in their organization.

• Integrate replicable caregiver navigation strategies identified by the environmental scan
