Virginia Commonwealth University Partnership for People with Disabilities (VCU-PPD) and the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) is conducting a survey of Area Agency on Aging (AAA) clients across Virginia. The aim of the National Core Indicators-Aging and Disabilities (NCI-AD) Adult Consumer Survey is to gather information about the services that AAA clients receive, their needs and preferences, and their quality of life. A random sample of AAA clients across Virginia will be selected for the survey and contacted by VCU-PPD staff. The NCI-AD survey is administered by VCU-PPD staff over the telephone. Participating in the survey is voluntary and completely anonymous. Your voice matters! If you are contacted by VCU-PPD, please consider participating. If you have any questions, you may contact Kathy Lee-Meredith by phone at 703.792.7150 or email [email protected] For more information about the NCI-AD Adult Consumer Survey can also be found at this website: http://www.nci.partnership.vcu.edu.

Support Group Information
Information about support groups is likely to change over time. If you find that any of our information is outdated, or you would like to share knowledge of other caregiver or eldercare-related groups please let us know! Email [email protected] or call 703-792-6374.
The care of an older family member or friend is often provided by relatives and friends. Caregiving can create physical, economic, and emotional stress. Groups of people experiencing similar issues provide a supportive atmosphere, information about community resources, as well as tips on how to prevent burnout.
Please contact a group’s hotline before attending a session for the first time to verify meeting information, obtain directions, and receive other information about the group or visit Caregivers Support Group | Linktree for a virtual option.
