MENU DONATE The Cherie Levien Quality of Life Fund Cherie Levien The Cherie Levien Quality of Life Fund was created to provide respite for caregivers of patients suffering from prime of life neurodegenerative diseases including PSP, CBD, or MSA while knowing that professional services are in place for their loved one. Research indicates that even temporary or intermittent relief of caregiving demands can help reduce stress and improve the quality of day-to-day life for caregivers as well as for the person who is suffering with the disease. Read more on the Cherie Levien Quality of Life Fund here. The Fund provides $1,500 grants for in-home care services by either our contracted provider Griswold Home Care, or a home care agency mutually agreed upon by the awardee and CurePSP. You will not need to pay directly; Griswold or the agreed upon provider will be paid directly by CurePSP. Am I Eligible? All applicants who have a PSP, CBD, or MSA patient being cared for at home are eligible. Our contracted national care provider is Griswold Home Care, please check their locations here. If you are not located in one of these areas, you will be required to locate and engage a local home care agency that is mutually agreed upon and can meet your care needs. If you need further help finding a Griswold location near you, please contact Griswold at 800-474-7965. They will help you to locate the closest office. Further eligibility requirements: Individuals must have a diagnosis of PSP, CBD, or MSA and the diagnosis must be documented by a physician. Only in-home respite services are covered.
