How Affordable Home Care Delaware Is Supporting Caregiver Families in the Greater Wilmington Area

Family caregivers provide tremendous love and effort, yet often without enough external support. According to recent data from AARP Delaware, roughly 24% of adults in Delaware — about 197,000 people — are family caregivers, providing unpaid care to a loved one. AARP States At Affordable Home Care Delaware, we understand those burdens and extend our support beyond just the client in-home.

In the Greater Wilmington area we are hosting periodic “caregiver hour” meet-ups (virtual or in-person) where family caregivers can exchange experiences, learn tips, ask questions, and access local resources. We also offer respite support—temporary in-home caregiver assistance—so family members can take a break, run errands, or attend to their own health and obligations.

We partner with local non-profits and community groups to connect caregiver families with educational workshops, financial/benefit guidance, and self-care resources. Because when caregivers are supported, clients receive better care and families sustain longer.

If you’re a caregiver in Wilmington or nearby, we encourage you to reach out. Whether it's swapping stories, accessing a trained caregiver for a few hours, or simply learning about your options, Affordable Home Care Delaware is here for both the client and the behind-the-scenes caregiver.
