Kenai Peninsula Family Caregiver Support Program
Caregiving can be both meaningful and overwhelming, and you don’t have to carry it alone. The center is here to offer support, resources, and a caring community to help lighten the load.
Hear what finding support meant for one Nikiski family.
Program Overview
- The program is Peninsula-wide — not just for Nikiski residents.
- Relaunched under the Nikiski Senior Center with State grant support.
- Supports family caregivers — spouses, adult children, and others caring for aging loved ones.
- Support includes resources, respite care, and direct in-home assistance.
- The program meets people where they are — in their homes, not just at the center.
What Support Looks Like
Respite Care
A few hours — or more — of relief so caregivers can rest, run errands, or simply breathe. Respite is available on a scheduled basis and can grow as needs grow.
In-Home Assistance
Support that comes directly to the caregiver's home. Help with daily tasks that reduce the physical and emotional load of full-time caregiving.
Resources & Connection
Access to information, referrals, and a community of others in similar seasons. Caregivers don't have to figure this out alone.
Who This Program Serves
Available to family caregivers across the Kenai Peninsula — not just Nikiski residents. If you are caring for an aging spouse, parent, or loved one, this program was built for you. No prior experience with senior services required.
