Home Safety &
Support Program
In partnership with The Center for Memory & Movement
Giving Back
As a way to give back to the community, we have created the Home Safety & Support Program in order to provide essential home maintenance and safety services at no cost to families caring for individuals affected by dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.
The program is designed to support families who demonstrate financial need and are actively engaged with the nonprofit, with the goal of improving safety, functionality, and overall quality of life within the home environment.
