Understanding the Benefits of the National Family Caregiver Support Program
This video delves deeper into what the NFCSP provides in Wyoming: counselling, training, respite care, supplemental services and support resources for family caregivers of seniors or adults with disabilities. It highlights how this program can reduce informal caregiver burden and support long-term home care viability.
Who we empower every day
By Role
- Agency Owners — Position your agency as a partner to family caregivers, offer value-added services that complement NFCSP supports.
By Persona
- Supervisors — Incorporate family caregiver status into care plans, link training supports, coordinate respite schedules.
- Care Managers — Identify clients whose family caregivers may be eligible for NFCSP supports and integrate this into care delivery.
- Caregivers/Family Caregivers — Understand available supports that can relieve burden, improve client outcomes, and potentially reduce agency staffing pressure.
- On-Call/Backup Coordinators — Use respite or support programs as part of backup staffing strategy, engage family caregiver backup when available.
Support for informal caregivers is an essential component of the home-care ecosystem. Agencies that integrate formal service delivery with family-caregiver supports (like NFCSP) gain client trust, reduce staff turnover/stress, and strengthen care continuity — a competitive advantage in Wyoming’s home-care market.
