Overview
Mission
The caregiver club aims to improve the lives of individuals with alzheimer's or other related dementias by supporting their caregivers.
What it reported doing in 2025
Caregiver respite initiative - caregivers-whether paid or unpaid-can be nominated through our website to receive our respite care package. Selected caregivers receive a caregiver gift set, a certificate of recognition, a letter full of creative respite ideas, information about our caregiver cards, and most importantly, the majority receive funding to support their respite experience. This personal flexible funding can be used for meal services, home cleaning, or direct in-home care to allow for a much-needed break. There are no restrictions based on income, geography, or background-only that the caregiver is actively supporting someone with alzheimer's or another form of dementia and has not received funding in the past year. This program honors the 24/7 reality of dementia caregiving and affirms the caregiver's right to rest and recognition. As of 2022, this program has given away over $115,000 to more than 200 caregivers. We served 65 caregivers in 2025.
