CarePartners works with faith communities to bring volunteers together to provide assistance and emotional support to family members who care for loved ones with Alzheimers, dementias and other challenges of aging. Our programs provide education, resources, and respite to family caregivers and no cost care to individuals living with Alzheimers and other age related illnesses to maintain or improve their quality of life over time. In 2017, 2,583 volunteers donated 122,864 hours to serve 3,159 care partners/clients. The Care Team program and educational conferences are provided at no charge to all who participate.
To address the needs of the people
we serve, CarePartners offers the following flagship programs, which are
designed to help individuals and caregivers maintain or improve their quality
of life over time.
Gathering
Place is a
highly engaging program specifically for individuals with early to moderate
Alzheimers, other dementias or memory loss. Planned activities strengthen motor
and social skills through games, music, crafts, lunch, and socialization.
Family caregivers receive 3.5 hours of respite care support while their loved
ones attend Gathering Place.
Second
Family is a
program designed to help home-bound individuals living with memory
loss or other challenges due to
aging and also provides respite care, a break from caregiving responsibilities,
support for caregivers. An extended family of trained volunteers offers support
and companionship for home-bound individuals who belong to a CarePartners
partnering congregation.
Common
Ground is a
support group for family caregivers offering emotional support, encouragement,
friendship and helpful tips about self-care and caregiving. Family caregivers
supporting loved ones with Alzheimers, dementia, memory loss or other challenges
of aging may join this monthly support group.
Caregiver
Conferences are
educational events that connect family caregivers with education and community
resources on how to provide quality care to their loved ones.
