For Caregiving Families

Caring Families & Friends are Heroes

When dementia strikes, it impacts not just the person diagnosed but everyone who cares for that individual. Family members and friends often provide both direct care and help with household tasks, finances and emotional support. At Amazing Place we empower dementia caregivers in our community to better manage the disease, access resources and find emotional and spiritual support along the way.

Caregiver Education

Equipping You for Every Challenge

Whatever stage of cognitive loss or dementia you or a loved one is facing, we are with you every step of the way. Through our many programs and support networks, we equip you with the tools, resources and encouragement you need to understand the disease and manage associated challenges.

Counseling and Support

Guidance and Support When Needed

Supporting a loved one struggling with cognitive and behavioral decline is emotionally and physically draining so we provide caregivers with next step advice, resources and support free of charge. We lift them up and remind them they are never alone.
