Caregiver Program

The Neighborhood House’s Caregiver Program offers a variety of services to those providing care for family members and friends in Community Districts 8-12, covering the East Side of Manhattan from 59th Street to 143rd Street, and the West Side from 110th Street through 220th Street.

The Caregiver Program provides caregivers with a variety of services to help them in caring for family members and friends. The program is designed to support the “caregiving dyad”—the giver of care and the receiver of care—so that the relationship can thrive amidst changing roles and experiences. Our trained team provides individualized assistance to caregivers, offering supportive counseling, information, referrals and help accessing government benefits and entitlements. This counseling can take place in person or remotely via phone or video conference. Free educational workshops and trainings are available at Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, as well as at community partnership sites. The Caregiver Program also offers respite care to eligible caregivers seeking short-term relief from caregiving duties and offers certain supplemental services, such as referrals and linkages to other service providers.

Caregiver Program clients can include:

Adults 18 and older providing unpaid care for an older adult age 60 or older
Adults 18 and older providing unpaid care for an adult of any age with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder
Older adult relatives (not parents) age 55 and older providing care to children 18 and younger
