Supporting caregivers during COVID-19
We are committed to supporting families living with dementia and other chronic illnesses during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. We have compiled resources to help you during this time.
Bringing hope to caregivers
The Caring for the Caregiver program supports family caregivers through education, research, and practice. We provide education through classes and workshops for family caregivers, opportunities for socialization, and clinical care to support families living with dementia.
