The Idaho Caregiver Alliance is a coalition of individuals and organizations focused on expanding opportunities for respite across the lifespan. The Idaho Caregiver Alliance (ICA) was established in 2012 with funding from the National Lifespan Respite grant to the Idaho Commission on Aging
Our Vision
To serve as the voice, convener, and catalyst for support of unpaid family caregivers across the lifespan.
Our Mission
To advance the well-being of caregivers by promoting collaboration that improves access to quality supports and resources including respite for family caregivers across the lifespan.
Our Action Plan
The Idaho Family Caregiver Action Plan, developed by the Idaho Caregiver Alliance, is based on the perspectives and expertise of caregivers and allies from public and private organizations in Idaho. The aim of the ACTION PLAN is to be proactive; to prevent or delay the need for costly institutional care, maximize independence, and keep families together in their communities. Implementation of the ACTION PLAN will require an investment of resources, but as demonstrated by caregiver initiatives in other states, the effort will yield significant dividends. See attached for the full report and Action Plan Overview.
