If you are looking for support
The mini-grant program is designed to support caregivers by providing financial assistance for services and items that directly improve the quality of life for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias. These grants can be used for various purposes, such as respite care, therapeutic activities, or necessary home modifications that are not covered by insurance or other programs.
This program helps alleviate some of the financial burdens faced by caregivers, enabling them to provide better care and support to their loved ones.
