Alzheimer’s New Jersey Walk Kick Off Party: Sponsored by Generations and Brightview Paramus

By

We co-sponsored the Alzheimer’s New Jersey Walk Kick Off Party with Brightview Paramus this year. There were over fifty-five community members and professionals there to sign up their teams for the Walk to Fight Alzheimer’s at Bergen Community College on October 13th. Our Director of Marketing, Laura Huisking, is the walk chair and the Generations Counseling & Care Management Team has been busy raising money the last few months for this very important cause.

We work with dementia patients and their families on a daily basis so we recognize the tough challenges they face. Part of what we do for clients is to ensure they have the right resources to support them along their caregiving journey. Each family situation is unique and not every resource fits with every family. Our care managers take a lot of time during the assessment process to figure out what works best for their situation.

There aren’t a lot of free resources out there for dementia support in Northern New Jersey and Alzheimer’s New Jersey is one of them. They offer support groups, educational programs, and respite care grants for family caregivers. This is why we fundraise for them each year. It is our small way of helping the clients we serve.

Recognizing Alzheimer’s & Other Dementias

By

Few decisions are more important than how we care for our family members who are unable to care for themselves. Our care managers often help families through a dementia diagnoses. They provide care plans that address the physical, medical, psychological and social issues of the client and family as well as their financial resources and goals. We understand how hard a diagnosis can be and that the need for education on dementia is an important part of the caregiving process. Generations is on the leadership team of ACAP Bergen County (Adult Children of Aging Parents) and helped organize this valuable program on “Recognizing Alzheimer’s & Other Dementias” on February 13th at 5:00pm. To register for the program, please click here.

According to the Alzheimer’s New Jersey, Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia now impact more than five million Americans and are a leading cause of death among aging persons.

This program is designed to help adult children understand Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related types of dementia so they can help their parents manage these diseases and choose the resources and supports that best help their aging parents and themselves.
