Testimonials
Two years ago, I was sent to a nursing home and I spent more than a year there. I was depressed. I felt like I was distanced from society. Thanks to the agency, I am able to live in my apartment. The agency has really made a difference in my life. I feel like I have almost erased my depression.

Services for Caregivers
- Information – Caregivers can find answers to questions about community resources and care assistance services for elderly, disabled and ill adults. Knowledgeable staff is on-hand to assist caregivers, listen to their concerns and guide them to find the assistance they need. A library of audio, visual, reading and web-based information is available for caregivers as well.
- Referrals – Caregivers in need of care assistance services can access short-term or long-term care services through private pay or publicly funded programs based on their loved ones' eligibility. The center can link caregivers to a variety of community resources, social service organizations and providers of services to meet their unique needs.
- Support Groups – The Support Group for New Caregivers helps individuals find answers to their many questions, easing their worries via discussions about caregiving tips and available support resources. Led by a licensed clinical social worker, the Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Group gives caregivers an opportunity to discuss and learn how to care for their loved one with Alzheimer's.
- Caregiver Education – Workshops, forums and lectures build caregiving skills and engage caregivers in conversations about care planning, legal and financial issues, innovative research for Alzheimer’s and other debilitating and chronic diseases.
- Wellness – Information is offered to help relieve caregiver stress and encourage self-care by request. Caregivers who wish to enhance their cognitive abilities also have access to Cognifit, an on-line subscription brain fitness program.
