The North Carolina Division of Aging and Adult Services is the state aging agency. They administer the Family Caregiver Support Program, a national caregiver initiative.
In 2002, Triangle J arranged a partnership with the Division related
to caregivers. To provide consistent and unduplicated information statewide,
it was agreed that even though information for caregivers will be on
the Division's caregiver site, the Division's focus would be to provide
information appropriate for educators, leaders in the field of aging,
legislators and the media. The Full Circle of Care website would provide "hands-on" information
chosen specifically to address the practical realities of caregiving.
The Full Circle of Care site was adjusted to provide local resource
links for the entire state and to provide links to other state "Divisions
of Aging" and Area Agencies on Aging to address the needs of long-distance
caregivers.

In 2005, the website won a national Aging Achievement Award from the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging. We hope you will use the links within the Triangle J Area Agency on Aging website to visit sections of the caregiver website. We hope you will find the information, useful, relevant, and current. We welcome suggestions for this website as well as for our Area Agency website.
