Best Programs for Caregiving: Database of Proven Dementia Care Programs for Family Caregivers
Best Programs for Caregiving (formerly Best Practice Caregiving), has launched a brand-new portal just for friends and family caregivers, empowering them to find and directly access programs and support for dementia caregiving.
This first-of-its-kind online directory details nearly 50 top-rated dementia support programs, including local availability, program outcomes and enrollment information. The online resource is a robust, easy-to-use database that serves both dementia caregivers and service providers, enabling them to:
- Find support immediately by entering their zip code
- Identify programs offered in-person, online or by phone
- Find programs to reduce caregiver stress & improve well-being
- Learn skills & techniques to gain confidence in caregiving
- Find programs in multiple languages that serve caregivers of diverse races, ethnicities & sexual orientations
For organizations and professionals who serve dementia caregivers, the directory helps to identify and compare a range of evidence-based programs, determine the best fit for clients and adopt implementation-ready programs.
Research published in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions found that programs included in Best Programs for Caregiving are able to positively impact caregivers’ depressive symptoms, alleviate feelings of burden and stress, and increase confidence in their caregiving role.
Please help us share this resource with caregivers and professionals today! We’ve made it easy with a promotional toolkit containing ready-to-use materials for your website, newsletter and social channels.
Best Programs for Caregiving is a product of collaboration among: Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging, Family Caregiver Alliance, and The Gerontological Society of America. Project funders are The John A. Hartford Foundation, the Archstone Foundation, and RRF Foundation for Aging.
