Part of Nicole Ranoull’s job as Maryland Access Point information and assistance manager at Carroll County’s Bureau of Aging and Disabilities is to help grandparents and older relatives who are faced with being the primary caregiver for young children. Though the bureau does not keep statistics on how many older residents are caring for young children in Carroll, Ranoull said about 20 individuals regularly access the Family Caregiver Support Program. She believes there are many more people who are not taking advantage of resources offered by the program.
