Meet Elizabeth, daughter and caregiver.
Elizabeth’s mom hid her memory issues for a long time. “My mom is naturally anxious, so asking the same questions several times never raised red flags,” Elizabeth shared. When Elizabeth realized the severity of her mom’s situation, it was a struggle to convince her mom to accept help. Alzheimer’s Los Angeles empowered Elizabeth in her new role as a caregiver, providing her with a support system, tips for compassionate communication, and tools to reduce caregiver stress. The understanding and community she found in her support group have become crucial for Elizabeth. Elizabeth learned that asking for and accepting help is essential. “That is the way forward,” Elizabeth said.
Your generosity today can help us provide local families like Elizabeth’s with the support they need at every stage of the disease.
Meet Sara, wife and caregiver.
Sara shoulders the weight of caring for her husband, John, who has early stage dementia. Caregiving duties pushed Sara to quit her job, adding to their financial difficulties. Our compassionate care counselors guided Sara in navigating the healthcare system and helped her secure vital support like Medi-Cal and In-Home-Support Services. Alzheimer's Los Angeles was able to arrange for Sara to receive respite services at no cost to her, giving her a moment to rest and manage her own health.
With your gift today, you can empower other families like Sara's and allow them to move forward one step at a time.
