Caregivers

There are four options for caregivers who would like some added support. REACH, a Zoom meeting, Friendly Visitors, and 1:1 Peer Support. Call Jill if you are interested.

REACH: stands for Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer’s Caregiver Health in the Community.  Caregivers will meet with trained coaches and learn to solve common caregiver challenges.  Meeting options are currently in-person one-to one coaching or via phone or ZOOM.

Caregiver Peer Support: There are caregivers who have probably experienced your challenges and can offer a non-judgmental ear.  Currently caregivers prefer phone calls so they can keep their loved ones safe

Late Evening Zoom Meeting: We realize that many caregivers do not have the luxury of attending a meeting during the day.  We are looking to host a later in the evening meeting via zoom for those caregivers who can not leave their homes for meetings.

Friendly Visitors: Trained volunteers interact with people. Caregivers and the person they care for can both benefit from socializing with another person. Caregivers can find an hour of respite when they do not have to be on high alert, and the person who is cared for meets a new person to do fun things with, such as puzzles, walks, photo albums, or just chatting.

Contact Jill at the Gibson Center, 603-356-3231 or   for more information.
