With knowledge comes understanding, and with understanding comes compassion.
Our mission is simple – help the caregiver! We are caregivers too. We are mothers, daughters, and wives, and we believe caregivers are the backbone of the dementia health crisis sweeping the nation.
To immediately help caregivers, we created our caregiver cards. They are a resource for caregivers to use today! They decrease caregiver stress and isolation while increasing socialization for the individual with memory loss and their care partner. As caregivers ourselves, we understand the struggles and stressors you face. We understand no day is the same, no interaction will go as planned, and each living with dementia is different. Our cards are meant to increase socialization and decrease stress, thus improving mental health and overall well-being. The caregiver hands out our cards to anyone they connect with in the community. They are ideal for – restaurant servers, airline attendants, store clerks, etc.
The caregivers wear our caregiver button to increase awareness and to show they are with an extraordinary person. In addition, caregivers, family, or friends can wear the purple adjustable bracelet to show support and love for the dementia community.
We want our vision to become a movement. We want to acknowledge the fantastic caregivers in the community that dedicate their lives to supporting individuals with dementia. We hope caregivers find strength in knowing they are not alone in this journey.
In addition, we fund and run caregiver/companion outings to support our belief in the importance of socialization. Lastly, we offer our caregiver respite initiative that validates, thanks, and reenergizes caregivers.
Countless studies and medical professionals discuss the importance of socialization as a key piece in the prevention of Alzheimer’s or other related dementias. The Caregiver Club™ leans into improving an individual’s level of socialization through the programs we support and the products we sell.
What is The Caregiver Club™
The Caregiver Club™ is a women-owned, St. Louis-based organization supporting caregivers of Alzheimer’s and dementia individuals. Started by caregivers for caregivers, The Caregiver Club™ aims to provide resources and support for caregivers locally and across the nation. In addition, we are working to break down the stigma of dementia and memory loss while giving caregivers the strength they need in their caregiving journey.
Our Mission
The Caregiver Club™ aims to improve the lives of individuals with Alzheimer’s or other related dementias by supporting their caregivers. We achieve our mission by offering programming, resources, products, supported outings, and a sense of community for the caregiver and their companion with memory loss. We are a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and your gifts are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
Our Vision
The Caregiver Club™ strives to bring a positive voice to the dementia community. We envision a world where a dementia diagnosis is not kept a secret, locked behind closed doors. We strongly believe that with knowledge comes understanding, and with understanding comes compassion. A dementia diagnosis can be scary and bring uncertainty, but it does not have to be surrounded by sadness. There is still so much life, laughter, and love to be shared. Through this positive, understanding, and compassionate lens, we aim to uplift and support caregivers so they can continue supporting the individuals they care for.
