Aging Services, a local organization in the Oklahoma City metro area, is expanding its support for caregivers through new initiatives like a respite voucher program, caregiver support groups, and volunteer opportunities to deliver meals to homebound seniors.

Why it matters

Caregiving responsibilities can be overwhelming for many families, and Aging Services is working to provide more resources and relief to support this critical role in the community. By expanding access to respite care, support groups, and volunteer assistance, the organization hopes to better meet the needs of caregivers across the region.

The details

Aging Services' respite voucher program helps cover the cost of temporary care, allowing caregivers to take necessary breaks. The organization has also launched caregiver support groups in several communities, offering a space for caregivers to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. Additionally, Aging Services is seeking volunteers to deliver meals to homebound seniors, providing both food and a check-in for those living alone.

• Aging Services' caregiver support groups are currently available in Norman, Moore, southwest Oklahoma City, northwest Oklahoma City, Mustang, Yukon, Piedmont, and Union City.
• New support groups are also being planned for the Del City, Midwest City, and Guthrie areas.
• Two upcoming free caregiver training events will take place later this spring.

What’s next

Aging Services is continuing to expand its caregiver support programs and is seeking additional volunteers to help deliver meals to homebound seniors in the community.
