If You Live in the Triangle and Need Hands On Help

The Eastern North Carolina Alzheimer's Association partners with the Center for Volunteer Caregiving to provide hands on help to Alzheimer's caregivers.

"The Center for Volunteer Caregiving recruits and trains volunteers from the faith community, corporations, and the community at large and matches them with elderly and disabled adults who need assistance with a variety of needs, including Alzheimer’s respite care/family caregiver support, transportation, friendly visiting and occasional meal preparation, among other services. The Center extends our arms into the community. Funds are provided by the Chapter to assist families dealing with dementia. For more information, please call The Center for Volunteer Caregiving at (919) 460-0567 or caregiving@ctrvolcare.org. "

Support Groups

Approximately seventy Caregiver Support Groups are currently meeting across the Western Carolina Chapter service area. These groups typically meet monthly and all are coordinated by trained volunteer facilitators. These groups are a lifesaver for many caregivers. A group of understanding friends experiencing similar struggles makes a world of difference to those who face this tremendous stress. Contact a Chapter near you for more information about local efforts since details may change.

Supporting Hands

The Eastern Chapter also offers many support groups across the eastern part of North Carolina. Contact them for updated information on locations and times.
