We know how extremely beneficial support and education are for those caring for someone with Alzheimer's or another dementia, especially in these challenging and unpredictable times. We are working to create new ways to bring you programs that provide resources, information, and guidance. Below are details on some of the ways in which we have modified our programs:
- We are offering support groups by phone, facilitated by our knowledgeable staff. These telephone support groups will continue our goal to provide caregivers with the emotional support and education they need to better understand and manage Alzheimer's and other dementias.
-
