The CurePSP Quality of Life Respite Grant was established to provide support for hiring in-home respite care services for those living with or caring for someone diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration or multiple system atrophy.
The fund provides a one-time grant for 60 hours of in-home care services (up to $35/hr) by a home care agency chosen by the awardee. You will not need to pay directly; the home care agency will be paid directly by CurePSP.
 
Eligibility:
  • Individuals and care partners living with a clinical diagnosis of PSP, CBD or MSA anywhere in the United States
  • The person with PSP, CBD or MSA is cared for at home (not in a long-term care facility)
  • Has not been a recipient of a CurePSP Quality of Life Respite Grant in the past
  • Is not receiving more than 15 hours per week of professional respite care services (i.e. adult day care, in-home care)
  • Has a combined annual income of less than $90K and does not have long-term care insurance
 
Grants are awarded on a quarterly basis and the deadlines are as follows: January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31. Due to ongoing updates to the grant program, please make sure that the application you are submitting corresponds with the correct quarter.
