No Wrong Door for Utah Caregivers
We are excited to announce that the Family Caregiving Collaborative received a two-year grant from Administration on Community Living. Our goal is to create a "No Wrong Door" for Utah Caregivers.
What is a No-Wrong-Door?
PROBLEM: The current long-term services and supports (LTSS) access system involves multiple funding streams with often duplicative eligibility and enrollment processes, leaving many individuals feeling bewildered and overwhelmed.
SOLUTION: A single No-Wrong-Door System is where anyone can be seamlessly connected to the full range of community-based options available. Through a network of agencies, NWD expands access to services and supports, helping individuals and their caregivers navigate resources they need with a person-centered approach.
Utah's NWD system aims to support the 450,000+ caregivers in Utah, the essential (and often overlooked) member of the long-term services and supports system. By bringing together dozens of service providers from across the state, we aim to create a series of tools and resources to increase awareness and referral to the many community-based resources and supports that are available to support the invaluable work that family caregivers do to support those with disability and medical needs.
Caregiving News & Opportunities
AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving released a new report Caregiving in the U.S. 2025 revealing that 63 million Americans—nearly 1 in 4 adults—provided ongoing care for an adult or a child with a complex medical condition or a disability in the past year, an increase of 20 million from 2015 to 2025. Of these 63 million caregivers, 59 million were caring for someone over 18.
