The 2009 Lifespan Respite Grant launched consumer-directed respite care services in Arizona and initiated a collaborative effort to establish partnerships with the Governor’s Office, ADES Division of Aging and Adult Services, Area Agencies on Aging, and family caregivers. The grant provided funding to develop the groundwork for the Caregiver Resource Line and the voucher program. Since becoming established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Arizona Caregiver Coalition (ACC) continues to be the only statewide non-profit organization that supports and provides non-diagnosis-specific programs and services for family caregivers across the lifespan. ACC maintains a website and staffs the Caregiver Resource Line to meet the A.R.S. § 46-172 requirements of providing self-directed respite care services and referrals.

Arizona Caregiver Coalition led the development and implementation of the Arizona Family Caregiver Action Plan 2025 - 2028 and is leading the Arizona Respite Network to promote action items in the National Strategy. Arizona Caregiver Coalition is the state’s convener of researching and gathering information about gaps in respite care services; ACC can meet the goals of the Lifespan Respite Grant, state statute, and focus on the objectives of the National Strategy.

Text12: It is in the state's best interest to continue the established statewide Arizona Caregiver Coalition for a continuum of family caregiver support and respite programs. DAAS and ACC have collaborated to develop a streamlined Lifespan Respite Grant process that houses the infrastructure for service provision and delivery, including administrative operations, policies, and procedures. DAAS will comply with the statute by continuing to directly contract with the Arizona Caregiver Coalition to maintain and grow the statewide Arizona caregiver coalition as required.
