LOWER SIOUX CAREGIVER SERVICES PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: FAMILY CAREGIVER means an adult family member or another individual who is an informal provider of an in-home and community care to an eligible elder or to an individual with Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder. Respite care, is care provided to a frail elder so the caregiver can have a break. GRANDPARENTS RAISING GRANDCHILDREN The term child is an individual who is no more than 18 years of age or who is an individual with a disability. Grandparent or older individual who is a relative caregiver, a grandparent or step grandparent of a child or a relative of a child by blood, marriage or adoption who is 60 years of age or older and lives with the child or is the primary caregiver of the child because the biological or adoptive parents are unable or unwilling to serve as the primary caregiver of the child or has the legal relationship to the child or is raising the child informally. CLARIFICATION SERVICES In respect to Grandparents caring for Grandchildren, the Lower Sioux Title VI program (Elder Nutrition Program) may utilize caregiver funds form the Native American Caregiver Support Program to provide respite and supplemental services to grandparents and relative caregivers. Funds may be provided to pay expenses such as summer camps and the SACC program that would allow grandparents a break from their daily caregiving responsibilities. Funds may be utilized to provide daycare services for facilities licensed under Lower Sioux Health and Social Services. Grandparents raising grandchildren will be allowed up to 24 hours of respite care per month, families will be notified if allotments are adjusted due to changes in funding. Eligible family caregiver 60 years of age or older may receive up to 24 hours of respite care per month. Respite care can be provided in the home of the elder, the caregiver or it can be provided at an out of home setting such as a senior center or adult day care center. 5 ATTENTION ELDERS AGED 60 YEARS AND UP: Effective March 1st, 2018, the Elder Nutrition program will be changing the location of the congregate dining site from Jackpot Junction to the Lower Sioux Community Center kitchen area. The change is due to lack of participation and the increased cost of having the dining room located at Jackpot Junction. Therefore, if you would like to meet with other elders during your lunch, at the Community Center kitchen area, please call Gayle McCorkell at 697 -8016, or Stacy Hammer, RDN, LD at 697-8945 and your meal will be delivered to the Community Center for the day(s) you choose. The estimated time of meal arrival to the community center is between 11:30-12:00 Monday – Friday. This change does not apply to elder meal delivery. If you are cur- rently receiving your meals delivered to your home, there are no changes. This change only ap- plies to those planning to meet for congregate dining. If you have any questions, or concerns, please feel free to contact your Elder Nutrition Program Director, Stacy Hammer. Pidamayaye!
