Caring for Caregivers at Rush supports adult caregivers of any age (over 18), who provide care to anyone over the age of 60. There is no requirement to be a patient of Rush, for either the caregiver or the care recipient.

They offer one-to-one caregiver support. They start with a series of questions for the caregiver to learn more about their situation. From there we offer individual sessions to address caregiver needs, identify goals, and plan for what matters to both caregiver and care recipient.

There is no charge for the initial call and assessments. They also provide any needed referrals and information. Once the assessments are completed and if the caregiver wants to enroll, we do bill insurance for short-term psychotherapy (between 1 and 5 sessions) and we will confirm the coverage before we begin sessions, so that any charges do not come unexpectedly to caregivers.

Life changes.
And when it does, sometimes we need assistance navigating those changes. Whether you need strategies and support to sort through challenging feelings or are seeking guidance about how to plan for what's next, we can help.
