education to help you understand the causes and symptoms of memory disorders and how to help your family member have the best possible quality of life
time away from your care responsibilities—called respite—through referrals to professionals who can help you find the most appropriate provider, and special programs specifically designed for people in the early stages of memory and cognitive impairment
individual and family consultation with a social worker who can meet with you one-on-one, either in person, by phone, or via online video conferencing
referrals to support groups and other organizations in your community
ongoing access to our team for as long as you need us
