Care and Support
Alzheimer's Association CareSource™
On November 1, the Association launched this new suite of tools
to assist people with dementia and their families with decisions
related to care planning called CareSource.
It's home to several helpful applications including:
- Senior
Housing Finder, the most current and comprehensive
web-based senior housing resource and listing service in the United
States. It allows users to search a current list of licensed assisted
living residences, nursing homes and other types of senior housing
to find licensed facilities in their area.
- Lotsa
Helping Hands, an easy-to-use, private group calendar,
specifically designed for organizing helpers, where everyone can
pitch in with respite care, meals, rides and other tasks necessary
for life to run smoothly while caring for a loved one with dementia
who lives at home. It’s also a place to keep these ‘circles of
community’ informed with status updates, photo galleries, message
boards and more.
- CareFinder,
launched by the Association in 2006 to help users get guidance
and information on all types of dementia care and find out what
kind will best fit their needs. Updated and relocated to the CareSource
suite, CareFinder provides a wide array of information regarding
care planning, financing and decision-making.
CareSource is also the new home of the Association’s message boards
for caregivers and the portal to a list of care-related resources
Web visitors may purchase for their home libraries. |
