Alzheimer’s Services Of The Capital Area

Love, love, love this non-​profit! As a social worker, my most favorite thing here are the lunch-​n-​learns. They always have fantastic presenters, open it up for caregivers as well as professionals, and are very warm and welcoming. I’ve been going to these every month for nearly a year now and always look forward to them.
The organization is a must for anyone affected by Alzheimer’s or dementia in general. They have an adult day care (Charlie’s Place) with a great reputation, support groups, a plethora of resources for caregivers and professionals, and such knowledgable staff. I honestly wish I had time to spend a day here or at least go on a tour, so perhaps I’ll ask about that next time I go.
I had the pleasure of attending the lunch-​n-​learn this month that was presented by the nurse who started the first Alzheimer’s support groups in Baton Rouge years ago, and this was eye opening for me. She was so heartfelt in her presentation and truly portrayed the importance of education and support with any life limiting, chronic illness. I can’t say it enough how much I love this organization… hence the Unilocal review to spread the word for them! Go and check them out, and spread the word please!
