Each November, we celebrate Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness and Family Caregiver’s Month to create community acknowledgment of Alzheimer’s disease, a form of dementia that impacts memory, thinking, and behavior and affects over 5 million Americans. In order to alert the community of the special needs of those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers, we want to tell you about a very important organization that provides services and support in this area.
CaringKind is an organization dedicated to creating, delivering and promoting inclusive and compassionate care and support services for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s (and related dementias). They are continuing to work on and eradicate the disease through the advancement of research in search of a cure. CaringKind provides a host of free information, tips, tools, support groups and community resources for caregivers. In addition, CaringKind has a free 24-hour Helpline where you can speak to a trained professional.
