Caregiver support
Caring for an older adult can often require a team of people.
We are here to help with questions, offer support, and connect caregivers to resources that can help them.
I understand the toll Alzheimer's takes on a family, and the love and patience that is required to care for someone, which is why I'm proud of the work we're doing in the city of Boston. I look forward to continuing our work in the city to offer our residents the best services and support.
