| History
Far Northwest Caregivers was established in 1986 as a result of
requests by older adults in the far northwest Austin, Texas area
for senior transportation and other services not available in the
area. Following a model of other inter-faith Caregiver groups, Far
Northwest Caregivers began with help from local congregations, neighborhood
organizations and volunteers. We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization.
Purpose
Far Northwest Caregivers is a coalition of congregations and community
groups whose mission is to help seniors to live independently.
Services Include
- Transportation
- Senior Day Out
- Friendly Visitors
- Telephone Reassurance &
Friends-Care-Ringers
- Medical Equipment Loan Closet
- Information & Referral
All
services are provided at no charge.
The
neighborhoods we serve
As our name suggests, we serve a large area of the far northwest
Austin area along the 183 corridor from the Arboretum (off the corner
of Hwy 183/Loop 360), going north along 183 continuing through Cedar
Park, and up to the northern edge of Leander.
