This service is partially funded through the state Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities through the National Family Caregiver Support Program, Title III-E of the Older Americans Act, but is available to caregivers with loved ones across the lifespan. Stop in the Caregiver Resource Center in either New Castle or the Milford Wellness Village to talk to a Case Manager and browse the pamphlets and books available for you as a caregiver. Call 302-221-2076 (NC) 302-253-1129 (Milford) to connect with our knowledgeable staff.
Our goal is to provide resources and practical tools and tips, as well as information on how caregivers can take care of themselves. Easterseals offers many ways to help caregivers, such as:
Since Easterseals does not sell any devices, nor receive commissions from manufacturers, you can rest assured that staff will help you find the right products for your situation. And since most assistive technology is not funded through insurance, our Case Managers will search for funding options which may be available. Drop in the Resource and Technology Demonstration Center during regular business hours, call 302-221-2076 or 302-253-1129 to talk with one of our Case Managers, or email us at resources@esdel.org.

In collaboration with the state Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Easterseals has partnerships with lending institutions which can help finance assistive technology with lower interest loans. Whether you are looking for an adapted van to transport your child who uses a wheelchair, modifications to your home so your mother can move in with you, hearing aids for your spouse, or an adapted computer for your home business, the Finance Your Independence (FYI) Program may be the answer. Our Case Manager will help you through the process and answer all your questions. For more information, call 302-221-2076 or email resources@esdel.org.
