Getting connected to a trusted specialist to explore your needs and situation can ease your stress. Whether you need a one-time conversation or some 1:1 time to learn and make plans, we can meet with you.

Our education programs help family and friends understand and navigate the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and caregiving. We help family and friends grow their knowledge and skills to care for someone living with dementia and also to take care of themselves.

Our experienced staff offers educational programs to sensitize professionals and para-professionals to the special needs of people with dementia and their families.

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.

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.

Our Early-Stage Services provide a supportive environment and specialized programs for people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or early-stage dementia. We offer group programs and one-to-one sessions.

CaringKind hosts social engagement opportunities and works with community partners to create dementia friendly events. Serving people living with dementia together with their care partners, these programs help stimulate conversation, memories, and connection through shared social and cultural experiences with peers.

CaringKind works with organizations, on-site or on-line, to maximize staff learning and cultivate best practices in dementia care. Our experienced staff offers educational programs to sensitize professionals and paraprofessionals to the special needs of people living with dementia and their families. We offer individualized educational programs to staff of home care providers, adult day care programs, nursing homes, assisted living residences, social service agencies, pastoral ministries, and others.

Finding a cure and improving dementia services are dependent upon individuals participating in research. CaringKind is actively involved in identifying, conducting, and showcasing quality research designed to improve the lives of those impacted by dementia. We help individuals and families learn about and engage in research in a variety of ways.

The Palliative and Residential Care program addresses the need for improving the quality-of-life and care for individuals diagnosed with moderate and advanced dementia, whether they live at home or in a residential setting, by promoting a palliative, comfort-focused approach to care. This approach involves taking active steps to bring comfort, thus helping to prevent or ease pain and distress.

CaringKind seeks to build relationships with social service and healthcare professionals, educating them about the disease and facilitating patient and caregiver connections to CaringKind’s free supportive services.
