Call 211 for Free Caregiving Support

Posted on 04/30/23 by The AARP Bulletin

Family caregivers can sign up for phone or text support by calling the South Dakota 211 Helpline Center. The caregiver support program, which AARP South Dakota helped to pilot two years ago, is free and available on an ongoing basis.

Family caregivers receive regular calls from trained staff for a few months or longer, depending on the person’s needs. The calls provide emotional support and information about resources.

To enroll or refer someone, dial 211 and ask about the caregiver support program. The 211 line is also available around the clock to connect callers with other types of community resources.
