               HONORING FAMILY CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J. LUIS CORREA

                      Wednesday, November 14, 2018

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the services and 
contributions the Family Caregiver Resource Center (FCRC) offers to the 
Family Caregivers in Orange County.
  The FCRC is a non-profit organization, established in 1988 to assist 
family caregivers who care for adults over sixty who are frail or 
adults age 18 and older with brain impairing conditions.
  The FCRC aids through various multicultural services which include 
family consultation, assessment and care planning, counseling, support 
groups, respite assistance, and education. In fact, in 1997, the FCRC 
started the first Vietnamese service program in the United Sates to 
ensure that the Vietnamese community in Orange County receive the 
services they need in their language.
  The continuous devotion to serve the Family Caregivers and their 
families have earned the FCRC many awards such as Community Partner of 
the year from National Multiple Sclerosis Society Pacific South Coast 
Chapter in 2016, the Innovations in Alzheimer's Disease Caregiving 
Legacy Award in 2014 at the National Center on Aging, and the Diverse/ 
Multicultural Communities Award and Legacy Award from CSUF Institute 
Gerontology in 2008.
  While I join you all to recognize family caregivers across the 
country on the National Caregiver Month, it is with great pleasure that 
I recognize the Family Caregiver Resource Center for its contributions, 
dedication, and efforts to help vulnerable caregiver families in Orange 
County.
