About Our Association
Education
One of the most effective ways to ensure optimal care for those with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease is through caregiver education.
Awareness
Bringing awareness to the disease and encouraging families to share their challenges and successes is essential.
Respite Care Grants
Respite care provides caregivers a temporary rest from caring for a loved one. It also allows caregivers time to take care of errands while having comfort and peace of mind, knowing their loved one is safe.
Resources
Every person’s needs are unique when it comes to dementia and Alzheimer’s care. We can help provide resources and referrals to many different services.
Join Us For Our Annual Luncheon
Each year, our Annual Luncheon honors the incredible advocates working to support those living with dementia and Alzheimer’s in our community. The event recognizes outstanding individuals and organizations through the Marcia Haynes Advocate of the Year Awards while raising funds for caregiver support, education, and research.
