Legacy Corps for Veterans & Military Families - Crystal Lake

Legacy Corps for Veterans and Military Families is a National Direct AmeriCorps program, wherein members provide Caregiver Support Services. Members take part in a range of community-based support services targeted to veterans and military families of all ages. Services are designed to decrease caregiver / care partner burden and stress and empower the caregiver and care recipient through education and community resources to maintain and/or improve their quality of life. Quarter-time LCVMF members provide a minimum of 450 hours of combined service and training for the contracted period, and serve an average of 8-12 hours a week. Service activities include in-home respite care per week with 1-2 families that enables the caregiver to attend to essential family or personal needs, the dissemination of information to the caregiver and or care recipient on various medical conditions, coping strategies, social services, support venues, and other resources, creating and supporting peer to peer networks, caregiver / care partner transitional services, transportation (at the discretion of the subrecipient agency), childcare respite, and volunteer generation through community outreach. All activities are of a non-medical and non-personal care nature and LCVMF members are strictly prohibited from offering personal medical advice, diagnosing, and or other medical therapies. Pre-Service Training is provided, as well as ongoing training and professional development opportunities throughout the service year, up to 90 hours. This program offers other less than full-time member slot types, depending on location needs.
