Get Involved > Care for Caregivers
You can make an immediate difference in your community by working to help keep families connected during the Alzheimer’s journey.
Start by caring for a caregiver. Do you know someone who is caring for a loved one who has Alzheimer’s? You can encourage and support them in the journey. Write a note or a letter. Make a phone call. Let them know you are thinking about them, and ask how you can help.
Perhaps the best way for you to care for caregivers is by learning how to connect better with their loved one who has Alzheimer’s. When you spend quality time with the person who has Alzheimer’s, you are bringing joy to that person as well as to that person’s caregiver.
Browse our care tips and our collection of resources to discover more ways you can care for caregivers. We think the best way to start connecting is with songs and smiles.
Becoming more informed about Alzheimer’s and the challenges of caregiving, you will naturally lend stronger support. You might be able to recommend a book or suggest a song. Sometimes the best care is simply lending a listening ear.
Your own experience caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia could be a great encouragement to others facing similar challenges. Please reach out to us if you are willing to share your story through Songs & Smiles.
Together, we can help bring joy to the Alzheimer’s journey as we each do what we can to care for caregivers.
