Kalamazoo Caregiver Resource Center

The Kalamazoo Caregiver Resource Center, part of the Kalamazoo County Area Agency on Aging (Region 3A), is a dedicated hub of support for family caregivers in Kalamazoo County. Recognizing that nearly one in four Michiganders are unpaid caregivers, the center addresses the physical, emotional, and financial demands of caring for a loved one.

The Caregiver Resource Center connects caregivers to support groups, education, respite, and information about the services available to them — including the agency’s broader programs such as home-delivered meals, home repair, transportation, medical equipment, and the Choices for Independence initiative, which arranges personal care, adult day care, and more for residents 60 and older. Whether a caregiver needs emotional support, practical relief, or guidance navigating the system, the center serves as a knowledgeable, local starting point that can match families to the right help.

This resource matters because caregivers often don’t know what support exists or feel they must manage everything alone, and a dedicated resource center counters both problems — offering community, education, and a clear path to services. For Kalamazoo County caregivers, the center is an essential ally in sustaining themselves and their loved ones. Reach the Area Agency on Aging at 269-373-5173 or visit 311 E.
