Providing expanded support to caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. A CAREGIVER is an adult age 18 and over who is a member of a family origin, extended family, domestic partner, friend, or other individual who supports an individual with Alzheimer's disease or other form of dementia without monetary compensation.
Our goal is to reduce caregiver financial, emotional and physical distress. The long term benefit would be to improve caregiver health and quality of life which results in a reduction in care receiver emergency visits and delayed or avoided institutional placement.

A care consultation is provided to caregivers during transitional situations, crisis situations and in situations where the caregiver needs education and support to take better care of themselves. It is designed to enhance the quality of life and decrease the stressful impact of dementia for the care receiver and the caregiver.

Education and training are available to help caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia to increase their skills and wellness.
