November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month
It's a good time to reach out and offer support to family, friends and neighbors who are caring for someone with dementia. It’s estimated that more than 10 million family caregivers provide daily comfort and care to those living with dementia. Evidence shows that caregivers are susceptible to such high levels of stress that their own mental and physical health suffers.
As the leader in Alzheimer's care and support services we’re with you every step of the way. From supports groups to educational classes and our lending library to 24 hour helpline, our professional staff understands the disease and its far-reaching impact. Call us anytime at 503-416-0201 or 800-272-3900. See below for National Alzheimer’s Awareness events near you.
