County forms caregivers coalition

Branchville - In response to the growing number of caregivers within the county, Bentley Assisted Living announces the formation of the Caregivers Coalition of Sussex County. The group will work to shed light on the mounting needs of caregivers and act as a central point of contact on caregiving issues. Whether you are caring for an elderly family member, a child or someone with a physical or mental handicap, the Caregivers Coalition of Sussex County will be there to help. Sussex’s caregiver group is the newest member of the National Alliance for Caregiving, established 1996, which includes grassroots organizations, professional associations, service organizations, disease-specific organizations, a government agency, and corporations. To get involved, call Founder of Sussex County Caregivers Coalition Francesca McKernan at 973-948-8884.
