Alvin a Dubin Alzheimer's Resource Center Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

The dubin center provided free support and educational services to caregivers and individuals impacted by dementia-related conditions throughout 2025. We served over 900 individual caregivers through more than 4,000 interactions, offering personalized, compassionate assistance tailored to each family's needs. Our services included a wide range of in-person and virtual support groups, addressing unique caregiving situations such as early-stage dementia, frontotemporal dementia (ftd), grief, and male caregivers, as well as general caregiver discussion groups. These groups offered caregivers a space for shared learning, emotional support, and community connection. We delivered evidence-based caregiver education through the 6-week savvy caregiver program, savvy caregiver express, and savvy advanced, empowering caregivers with practical skills, strategies, and confidence to navigate the complex demands of dementia care. The addition of the 3-week savvy caregiver express course in 2025 expanded access and convenience for busy caregivers. We also became certified in savvy advanced in 2025, an evidence-based program focused on the later stages of dementia, expanding our ability to support caregivers through the most complex and demanding phases of the disease. Our "out and about" program provided dementia-friendly outings to local community venues, offering participants joyful, meaningful experiences while promoting social engagement. A key benefit of this program was its role in fostering greater public understanding and acceptance of dementia by partnering with local businesses and cultural institutions to create more inclusive environments. We offered the virtual dementia tour to caregivers, professionals, and community members, providing an immersive experience that simulated the sensory and cognitive challenges of dementia. This powerful program increased empathy and understanding, with social workers providing one-on-one debrief sessions afterward to deepen learning. Our licensed social workers conducted free memory screenings using validated tools and provided one-on-one consultations to help caregivers understand available services, access referrals, and plan their next steps. These individualized consultations remained a critical resource for families seeking guidance at every stage of the dementia journey.
