10 The Queens Courier • may 26, 2016 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.qns.com Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is relentless Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia is relentless, exhausting work. And yet, in the absence of an effective therapy or cure, effective care remains the best therapy. That is why, for over thirty years, CaringKind, The Heart of Alzheimer’s Caregiving (formerly known as the Alzheimer’s Association, New York City Chapter) has focused on developing and delivering programs and services that ease the burden of a dementia caregiver. CaringKind’s programs include social work services, education programs, caregiver workshops, caregiver support groups, culturally sensitive outreach initiatives, cultural arts programs, training programs for medical professionals and home health aides, specialized programs for individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and early-stage dementia and the MedicAlert NYC program provides resources to protect those who wander. It’s never too early – or too late – to talk about Alzheimer’s support. No problem is too big or too small. Trained staff can help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Just call 646-744-2900 and, like so many others, you will be glad you made the call. Visit www.caringkindnyc.org for additional information.
