6. Care Team Calendar
The Alzheimer's Association Care Team Calendar, powered by
Lotsa Helping Hands, is a free, personalized online tool to organize
family and friends who want to help with caregiving.
This service makes it easy to share activities and information with
your community.
Here's how:
1. Helpers can sign up for specific tasks, such as preparing
meals, providing rides or running errands. You can post
items for which assistance is needed
2. From your Care Team Calendar, friends and family can
access AlzConnected message boards, post
announcements and photos, and share information.
When someone asks "what can I do to help?" ask them for their email address. Then simply add them to your Care
Team Calendar. From there, they can sign up and start helping.
7. If you’re caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, you are not alone. You can get support from others who understand what you’re going through at our new online
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Caregiver Center, a “ONE-STOP SHOP” for resources and information that caregivers need throughout every stage of the disease.
