Dementia Consultations & Coaching

Are you a family member or a friend providing care for someone with memory loss? Feeling stressed? Juggling emotions? Struggling to manage distressing and challenging behaviors? Do you want to build your caregiving skills? Reach out to schedule an appointment to discuss your needs and situation.

Support & Bereavement Groups

Talking to others with similar experiences can help you feel less isolated and alone. Our groups provide a comfortable place to discuss caregiving challenges, share your feelings, and find emotional support.

Partnering Together

Partnering Together is a small group workshop for spouses/partners or family members who are new to supporting someone with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer’s, or another form of dementia. Meaningful discussions each week focus on the core needs of a ‘care partner’ and will help you adjust to your new situation and supporting role.

MedicAlert® NYC Wanderer’s Safety

Many people with Alzheimer’s disease wander away from their home or caregiver. As the caregiver, you need to know how to limit wandering and prevent the person from becoming lost. This will help keep the person safe and give you greater peace of mind.
