Our program
We recognize the care for a person with a chronic illness or disability is not complete without addressing the needs of the caregiver.
Focusing on caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, Caring for the Caregiver is dedicated to improving the quality of life for family caregivers and those they care for with evidence-based services, support, education and research with value on the caregiver’s health, skills and resilience.
Join us for the Dementia Friendly San Antonio Town Hall
Event Date: October 4th, 2018 (6:00PM – 8:00PM)
The Caring for the Caregiver program invites you to attend a free Town Hall to become familiar with what dementia friendly means to our community and to gain an understanding of how you can support people with dementia and their family caregivers.
