Alzheimer's Volunteer Visiting

Trained volunteers visit people with Alzheimer's disease in their homes to provide respite to their caregivers. Activities may include conversation, outings, assistance with shopping, encouragement or help with hobbies and interests, activities such as walking and much more. 

Why it Matters: 

Our volunteers can help provide social stimulation in your home, offering family members a temporary rest from caregiving responsibilities.
