Aging & In-Home Services of Northeast Indiana, Inc. (AIHS), is gathering information about caregivers, those individuals who provide help or care to their family members or friends in Indiana. We will use the feedback we gather to support updates and improvements to the services we provide to older adults and their caregivers.

Who should complete the survey? Anyone who serves as a caregiver for an aging parent, a spouse, other relative or unrelated ill or disabled person.

What should I do if I am not a caregiver? If you are not a caregiver, please share this survey with anyone you know who provides care for others.

When should the survey be completed? Please complete the survey by Friday, February 13, 2026.

Questions? If you have questions about the Caregiver Survey, you can call the AIHS Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) at: 800-552-3662.
