The program provides valuable non-medical assistance, support, and friendship to individuals with memory disorders and their family members and is part of a national Faith in Action Program. An Alzheimer's Care Team consists of five to nine caring individuals, formed from within a faith-based community, i.e. a church, temple, synagogue or other congregation. As part of a care team, members provide only those services that they're comfortable providing, and when it's convenient for them. The team approach offers volunteers the support of other fellow team members. And, since the whole team shares the tasks, no one has to do it alone!

This program is unique because a team of 4 to 7 volunteers provide support to one patient who is referred to as a care partner. This team approach makes it easy for those with busy schedules to volunteer because you pick what you want to do and at a time that fits your schedule. Supportive services include transportation to appointments, running errands, preparing a meal or special treat, phone calls, home visits, and socialization. Socialization has become an important part of the program as care partners live alone at home with little or no family support. Care Teams take their care partners out to lunch, on picnics, to recreational and cultural events, and other community activities. They are right there for their care partners as well during the holidays and on birthdays celebrating in true care team fashion. 25% of the volunteers have been with the program 10 years or more while 50% of our volunteers have been with the program 5 years or more. As a Faith In Action program, we have historically recruited from faith-based communities, but we also recruit from businesses, community groups, and colleges.
