Help us honor caregivers this month.
In honor of National Family Caregivers Month, the Alzheimer’s Association wants to recognize the compassionate people who provide support to those living with the disease.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can be overwhelming. Last year alone, more than 15 million Americans provided an estimated 18.1 billion hours of unpaid care to family and friends living with Alzheimer’s. Contributions from dedicated caregivers are making a real difference for the people across the nation facing this cruel and fatal disease.
When you support the Alzheimer’s Association, you fund important resources to help caregivers across the nation, including:
24/7 Helpline: Provides reliable information and support to all those who need assistance day or night, 24/7, at 800.272.3900.
ALZConnected®: Allows caregivers to connect with one another in our online community.
Educational resources: Our educational workshops and Caregiver Center offer strategies and proactive advice.
Community Resource Finder: A comprehensive listing of Alzheimer’s and dementia resources, community programs and services to find local support.
Alzheimer’s Navigator®: A powerful online tool to help caregivers identify their needs and plan next steps.
If you know a caregiver who can benefit from these resources, please share this email. To learn more about our support services for caregivers, visit alz.org/care. I hope you’ll join us this National Family Caregivers Month in honoring the unsung heroes of the Alzheimer’s epidemic.
