It’s that special time of the year to give thanks for all the blessings that have been bestowed upon us throughout the year. I am especially thankful for having been given the opportunity to work for an organization that I am so proud of. The work that goes on at Alzheimer’s Services and Charlie’s Place is amazing. Each day our staff gives their best, it’s not just a job, it is a labor of love.
I see the relief on the caregivers faces as they drop their loved ones off each day knowing they will have 6 precious hours of relief from the “36 hour day.” I also see the joy and happiness on the clients faces after they have spent a day at Charlie’s Place. They receive stimulation and socialization and “person centered care” by not only the staff, but the volunteers who care for them.
I am very thankful that there is a place like Alzheimer’s Services of the Capital Area that can assist, and provide support and services to so many in need in our community.
November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, please visit us on Facebook, and share with your friends that Alzheimer’s Services of the Capital Area is a place for those affected by this disease and their caregivers to receive help and support. Why not make plans soon to bring a friend to see our special “gem” in the Greater Baton Rouge Area. You will leave inspired.
Debbie Kidder Little – Development Director
