Information, resources, support and community for adult-children as they care for their aging parents and for themselves

“There are only four kinds of people in this world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.”

— Rosalynn Carter

We Understand Your Challenges Because We’ve Been in Your Shoes

ACAP’s founder has faced the joys, trials, and frustrations of trying to provide care for an aging parent. The inspiration for ACAP came when Frances Hall discovered there were other faculty and staff at the university where she worked who also felt a need for support as they cared for their parents. This initial insight has blossomed into a growing community with chapters across several states.

ACAP Creates Results

With an estimated 10 million Americans providing personal care or financial assistance to aging family members, it’s important to have access to resources and a support group to help deal with the unique challenges. That’s where ACAP comes in. A recent survey of ACAP attendees found that:
