Adult Services

Caring for a family member? You're not alone. According to the National Family Caregivers Association, more than one-quarter of the adult population has provided care to a family member or friend during the past year.  

Easterseals Alaska offers programs and resources to help you provide the best possible care for your spouse, parent or another loved one who needs assistance with daily living. These programs may be funded through medicaid waiver, medicaid, private insurance, or private pay. Please call our office for further details.

For decades, Easterseals Alaska’s Adult Services have put hope within reach for thousands of adults. Easterseals Alaska provides a variety of home and community-based services affording adults and seniors opportunities to live, learn, work and play as a vital part of their own community or neighborhood. These programs put hope within reach for adults with a developmental disability, persons with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, as well as an individual with Multiple Sclerosis, or those who have had a stroke. In addition, these valuable programs offer respite, support, and education for family members and other caregivers.
