Dementia Care Is About Respect
Since 1984, Hope Dementia & Alzheimer’s Services has made a positive, meaningful difference in the lives of family caregivers.
Getting Started
If you’re caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, you know this can be a difficult road. These diseases can affect families and caregivers physically, emotionally and mentally.
Help is here for you. We understand the extraordinary amount of patience and skills you need to be an effective caregiver. And we know the more you take care of yourself, the better you can care for your family member.

“I can’t say enough about this support group”
Connie Murphy was having a hard time caring for her husband after he was diagnosed with vascular dementia. But things got easier when she started attending the caregiver support group run by Hope Dementia & Alzheimer’s Services.
“From the moment I walked in that room, I knew I was in the right place,” she explains.
The dementia care plan: helping your family today and long-term
“I can sleep better knowing my wife is safe and being well cared for. With the hospice nurse and aide, she’s more comfortable because her personal needs are being met. I also appreciate having the hospice nurse as a resource to give me another medical opinion when I need to make decisions.”
— Charles Conway, Hope Dementia & Alzheimer’s Services family caregiver
