WHAT WE DO:

 

The Tennessee Respite Coalition (TRC) provides relief to families and caregivers from the extraordinary and intensive demands of providing ongoing care.

 

As of 2003 nearly 36 million people in the United States were 65 years of age or older - 12% of the population. By 2030, this group will DOUBLE in number to 72 million and will constitute 1/5 of all people in the US.

In the US, more than 50 million people, provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year.

The average caregiver is female, 56 years old, married, employed outside the home, and frequently provides care for elders and children simultaneously.

Family caregivers in Tennessee provided 634 million hours of care last year.

 

Respite Helpline 1-888-579-3754

A toll free number for families and professionals that provides guidance, information and assistance. TRC pledges to secure services for each family that calls.

Family Directed Respite

TRC provides over 250 families each month with vouchers for an array of direct services thereby empowering families to be in control of their caregiving responsibilies.
