We have caring professionals standing by to answer your questions today!
Do you have information on free-lance people that just offer their time to spend time with seniors with alzheimer’s? Not even if they are a registered nurse, just someone who is nice. Is there a good way to find people like that?
Jane,
Our home care agencies have caregivers that are trained to provide companionship and care for seniors with dementia and Alzheimer’s. You could also read our blog post about choosing an in home caregiver. Finally your local senior center may have volunteers that spend time with seniors with Alzheimer’s.
Hope this helps.
