The NIH is pleased to announce the launch of a new NIH LISTSERV to assist you with managing adult/elder care needs.
Do you:
Care for an elderly family member?
Have questions/concerns about transition planning for an adolescent or young adult with special needs?
Provide long distance caregiving for an adult family member?
Worry about your own caretaking plans?
The new "Adult Care Support" LISTSERV is an interactive e-mail list intended to allow the NIH community to share information and resources on all aspects of aging and adult dependent care. It is a collaborative space where you can share experiences, ideas, and support on elder care and dependent care topics, such as:
Resources in the community
Information on housing options
Back-up care resources
Special needs resources
Information about upcoming NIH events and programs related to aging and adult dependent/elder care
To subscribe, visit the NIH LISTSERV page at https://list.nih.gov. Browse the list or search directly for "Adult-Care-Support." Once you subscribe, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with additional guidance about the list and its rules. Please read this guidance carefully as it contains useful information that will help you maximize the list's benefits.
For additional information about the Adult Care Support LISTSERV and other NIH Adult/Elder Care Resources, please contact Ms. Tonya Lee, NIH Child and Family Programs Manager, at 301-402-8180 or leet2@mail.nih.gov.
