About CaringKind:

CaringKind is New York City’s leading expert in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and the only local organization with decades of experience providing a holistic, comprehensive system of support to Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers throughout every stage of the disease. Offered free of charge and in multiple languages, our philanthropically-funded programs are accessible to everyone, as they educate and equip dementia caregivers to understand the disease, access resources, and enhance the care they provide to the person with dementia and to themselves. We are proud that our programs and services provide caregivers with the warmth of a ‘human touch’ from diagnosis through late stage, easing their burden and ensuring they know they are not alone.
