Family Caregiver Connection

Family Caregiver Logo

The Anoka County Family Caregiver Connection is a network of services for caregivers, family members, and those for whom they care.


*** PROGRAM UPDATE***
Out of safety concern for clients and employees, Anoka County has eliminated most face-to-face assistance including the Family Caregiver Connection programming. However, some of these programs may still be available via phone or WebEx. Please contact Jill Agyekum, coordinator of the Family Caregiver Connection, to discuss current service options. Call 763-324-1608 or email jill.agyekum@co.anoka.mn.us.
