Every ALZ Companion plays an important role in giving local dementia caregivers a much-needed break. The families are so grateful for them, and so are we.

Beth is one of those incredible volunteers. She first heard about the program through her school and was paired with Inocencia, who is in the later stages of the disease. Beth loves her weekly visits and continues to find ways to connect.

Watch the video below to learn more about her experience.
