CARE Delaware Grandparent/Older Relative Caregiver Programs

CARE Delaware supports older relatives raising children age 18 and younger. Caregiver Resource Centers include helpful materials for these caregivers.

In addition, CARE Delaware provides a number of respite opportunities for grandparents and other relative caregivers who are aged 55 or over. These respite programs include:

• Grand Time Off, a respite program that provides supervised activities for children statewide. 
• Camp Respite, a summer camp program that provides recreation for kids at their local YMCA and gives a break to grandparents and other relative caregivers.
• School Holiday Camp Respite, a camp program, like Camp Respite, offered at various YMCA's during winter and spring breaks
