Caregiver Support Program

VA Palo Alto health care offers a number of services to support you and the Veteran you care for.

The Caregiver Support Program offers 2 programs: the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) and the Program of General Caregiver Support Services (PGCSS). Ask a caregiver support coordinator to help you find what you need, whether it's in-home help, someone to listen, or anything in between.

Connect with a support coordinator

Call the Palo Alto VA direct line to connect with a support coordinator: 650-614-8419

For appeals questions, call the Caregiver Support Line (CSL): 855-260-3274
