REACH

Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer’s Caregiver Health (REACH) is a caregiver skill-building program. Over a six-month period, a caregiver meets one-on- one by phone or virtually with a dementia care specialist to address issues affecting caregiver well-being such as depression, burden, stress, self-care, social support, safety and problem behaviors. This program is offered at no charge.
The program goals are to:

• Empower caregiver with skills and strategies for optimize the quality of life
• Improve overall caregiver health and depression
• Reduce feelings of stress from caregiving
• Improve caregiver’s ability to manage troubling behaviors
• Delay in institutionalization of the care recipient
