What to Expect as a Family Caregiver
Family Caregivers can expect a much-needed break from caregiving while their family members enjoy a safe, friendly and fun environment.
Our collaborative approach to care means that you’ll be in regular communication with our staff team regarding your family member’s welfare and wellbeing. We’re here to answer any questions or concerns you might have throughout your dementia journey.
Being a caregiver can be tough, so don’t forget about yourself. Our Caregiver Education and Caregiver Support Groups can connect you to the services you need to feel supported, capable, and informed.
