Alzheimer Family & Caregiver Support Programs
The Alzheimer’s Family and Caregiver Support Program or AFCSP is a program created by the Wisconsin legislature in 1985 in response to the stress and service needs of families caring at home for someone with irreversible dementia. To be eligible, a person must have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder, and be financially eligible.
How does the AFCSP program work? Funds for AFCSP are made available in each county to assist individuals to purchase services and goods related to the care of someone with Alzheimer’s disease. Funds may be available, depending on the county’s priorities and the person’s need for services…In some instances, the funds are used within the county to expand or develop new services related to Alzheimer’s disease, such as respite care, adult day care or support groups or services.
