In the Community – An Expanding Need

When a loved one begins to show the signs of memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, families--everyday heroes --put it all aside to do the best job they can. Memory Care Home Solutions has had the opportunity to serve and get to know some incredible caregivers since the organization was founded.

Sandra, a caregiver of both her sister and mother - two beautiful women with Alzheimer’s disease - made a comment that we can’t seem to forget – “Coworkers, friends, family – they don’t understand what you go through as a caregiver– but the program director from Memory Care Home Solutions was on top of all of those things – he met the needs before I even knew they were there.” Memory Care Home Solutions brings this peace to thousands of caregivers every year.

Too many former caregivers who hear of our program immediately say they desperately needed our program when they were caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s in their life. They wish they had known we existed.  It is our duty to expand our reach so everyone in need of our support knows we are here for their family.

Together we can reach caregivers who need us – before it’s too late. Our vision for THE CENTER is a cutting edge permanent home where we’ll expand our reach by serving caregivers though training, information, support and camaraderie not only with other caregivers but also with experts in the field of memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

 

Our Solution – THE CENTER

Memory Care Home Solutions has been a vital part of the caregiver community for the last 10 years. The organization is an established leader in the caregiver training and support field for those who have a loved one with memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

Our vision is to create a unique environment that will serve all caregivers who need our support. THE CENTER will be here for your family when you need us.

Our Current location is:

  • leased and too small for current staff; there is no room for expansion of the programs
  • unsafe for elderly individuals or anyone with mobility issues

A Permanent home will provide:

  • for confidential, private family meetings in a neutral location where all members of the family caregiving team will feel comfortable to share
  • for family trainings and consultations in a calm, safe location
  • space for  donor and referral education meetings – raising funds and awareness for our mission and those we serve
  • expansion space to train more students and volunteers – broadening the reach of our mission and training the future professionals in our community

Through THE CENTER Memory Care Home Solutions will offer more caregivers cutting-edge programs including:

  • a Technology and Resource Area to  allow caregivers to have access to education  materials and systems not otherwise available
  • an Simulated Training Environment to provide  a unique space where experts address safety, behavior and environmental issues in a real-life setting
  • an Art and Music Therapy Area to educate caregivers to learn new ways to engage their loved ones increase quality of life and productive behaviors
