About Us

Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support, Inc. is a Florida based charitable corporation within the meaning of Section 503 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Its objectives and purpose is to improve the lives of the caregivers of individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia by offering education and information on resources in the community; to provide support and assistance to the citizens and other residents of South Florida who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease; to hold support groups to increase family caregivers’ knowledge of effective and safe caregiving strategies; and improve emotional coping skills in order to reduce or prevent stress-related problems and enhance quality of life.

In Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support, Inc. groups, caregivers of individuals with memory loss meet to provide mutual help and support, to share coping strategies, and to feel more empowered by the sense of community. The support group is a place where caregivers can relate their own experiences and difficulties of caring for their family member; they can listen to and accept other’s experiences and difficulties, and provide sympathetic understanding. It becomes, in some instances, the only opportunity the caregiver has to socialize.
