SAGECAP (SAGE Caring and Preparing), launched in 2009 and supported by the Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Foundation and the MetLife Foundation, was designed to provide a safe, welcoming community that helps caregivers navigate their current and future needs: as they provide care for a loved one, SAGECAP cares for them, and in turn helps them prepare for the time in their life when they may need care. SAGECAP offers:

  • One-on-one counseling
  • Group counseling
  • Weekly caregiver support groups
  • Educational seminars and online resources
  • Information on benefits, entitlements and more
  • Respite care
  • Help for caregivers planning for their own futures

If you or someone you know could benefit from this program, please call us at 212-741-2247 or email caregiving@sageusa.org.
