Family Caregiver Alliance
Verified working Aug 3, 2026
Guides families through adult caregiving with tools and local referrals.
Family Caregiver Alliance is a nonprofit resource center for people caring for adults with cognitive or physical impairments, including dementia, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease. The site offers caregiver education, condition-specific articles, events, support groups, state-by-state service directories, and CareNav, a personalized dashboard for organizing caregiving support.
Why it stands out
- Long-running caregiver nonprofit with more than four decades of experience focused specifically on family caregivers.
- Combines practical family-facing guidance with professional tools, research, policy updates, and program resources.
- Offers both national resource navigation and more localized Bay Area caregiver services.
- Covers caregiver well-being alongside care-recipient needs, legal planning, and service coordination.
- Includes multilingual entry points for several major caregiver communities.
Good to know
- Direct service availability appears strongest for the San Francisco Bay Area, while users elsewhere may rely more on referrals and state listings.
- CareNav requires registration to use the personalized dashboard.
- The site focuses on adult caregiving, especially physical and cognitive impairments, rather than child care or general household help.
Under the radar: If you are not in the Bay Area, start with “Services by State” before browsing general articles; it can point you toward nearby caregiver organizations that match your location.
