Empowering Caregivers
The Maryland Department of Aging has a suite of tools to support older adults and people with dementia.
Both are free and available to help empower caregivers with information and resources.
Memory Care Checklist
The Johns Hopkins Memory Care Checklist is a new self-service tool that can help families caring for someone with cognitive challenges identify needs, access information, and connect with supports.
The Checklist guides family caregivers through a series of questions impacting the health and well-being of the person with memory loss and the caregiver(s). Then, the system prioritizes needs and provides a Personalized Report that guides the caregiver on what they need to know and where to go for help.
The report links directly to resources on the MAP website, which is integrated with the 211 Community Resource Database. The Checklist was developed through a partnership with the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, the Maryland Department of Aging, and the Maryland Information Network, which powers 211.
Screening Tool
If the patient doesn't have a diagnosis, the AD:8 Cognitive Screening Tool compares signs of normal aging to potential signs of mild cognitive impairment. It's only 8 questions, and is designed to identify early signs of cognitive impairment. The AD:8 is a preliminary step before talking to your healthcare provider, and is not a diagnostic tool.
The AD:8 was developed by Washington University.
Sipò pou moun kap bay swen
Nearly one in five adults in the United States cares for a senior, an ill adult, or a child with special needs. It’s important to remember to take care of yourself in addition to your loved one.
There are programs that can help lighten your load. From Meals on Wheels to Senior Ride Programs and Respite Care, there are numerous resources available to support seniors and their caregivers.
Swen Relèv
Swen relèv kapab yon lòt sous sipò. Pwogram sa yo bay yon ti peryòd repo oswa soulajman lè yo ofri swen tanporè oswa tanzantan nan kay la oswa nan anviwònman/enstalasyon kominotè yo.
Respite care programs can give caregivers time to attend to their own needs, knowing their loved one is being cared for. Often, respite care is paid privately, though in some cases, insurance may help cover the cost.
Additionally, grants and subsidies may be available. Ask about these when contacting the respite care agency.
We've linked respite care resources throughout Maryland on the Maryland Access Point website.
Sipò pou moun kap bay swen
La Rezo Aksyon pou Swen offers a toolbox of videos, resources, and tips to support caregivers.

Find Used Medical Equipment
If you're a senior or know one in need of durable medical equipment, like a cane or walker, you can get support from the Maryland Durable Medical Equipment Re-Use program. The donated equipment is sanitized, repaired, and refurbished.
Depatman aje Maryland te diskite sou pwogram nan Epizod 16 nan Ki sa ki nan podcast 211 la. Amanda Distefano explained that the program uses occupational and physical therapists to identify the right fit for each individual. That way, the equipment is not too large or too small for a person.
Ou kapab tou bay ekipman pou pwogram nan.
Si ou bezwen ekipman medikal oswa teknoloji asistans tanporèman, ou ka itilize a loan program nan tout eta a.
Adult Changing Tables
Li ka difisil pou bay yon adilt swen pèsonèl an piblik si yon twalèt pa gen bon jan enstalasyon. Yon twalèt ka gen yon estasyon pou chanje kouchèt, men sa p ap travay pou yon timoun ki pi gran oswa yon granmoun.
A new law requires universal changing facilities in certain public buildings, like a park, recreation center, bus station, or airport. They're required for public buildings built after October 1, 2022, and in buildings where a public restroom is added or an existing one is substantially renovated.
It's the facility's responsibility to notify 211 about the accessible changing table so the public can find it.

Grandparents who provide kinship care
Gen kèk granparan ki jwenn tèt yo k ap pran swen pitit pitit yo akòz yon pwoblèm fanmi ak paran timoun nan. Yo refere sa a kòm fanmi.
Swen fanmi se yon aranjman aplentan kote timoun nan ap viv ak yon fanmi, tankou yon granparan oswa yon lòt manm fanmi.
Aranjman sa yo ka rive enfòmèl oswa fòmèlman.
Avèk swen fanmi enfòmèl, gad legal pa obligatwa. Granparan an pran swen timoun nan akòz yon difikilte grav tankou yon maladi, itilizasyon sibstans, devwa militè aktif, lanmò paran yo, anprizònman oswa abandon.
Swen fanmi se yon bon chwa pou timoun nan, men li ka pa pi bon chwa pou fanmi ou, sitou si w ap pran retrèt.
