ALZ Companions Respite Program

Socialize in-person or virtually with ALZ Companion visits! While in-home respite is dependent on each situation, both care partners and people living with dementia in San Diego County can benefit from weekly visits with a friend. We will carefully match you with a volunteer based on factors like location, personality, and/or interests. You can connect using free video software like Facetime or Zoom or have the volunteer stop by whenever safe and convenient.
“Doug had a lovely visit with Emilya this afternoon. He has not facetimed much, but he caught right on and was not intimidated by the technology. It was so wonderful to see Doug fully engaged with someone outside of the family.  I think this will make all the difference in the world. I cannot thank you enough!” – Carolyn

Become an ALZ Companion

We are looking for compassionate individuals who have a few hours each week to spend with someone living with dementia. Your companion visit will give them and their care partners the opportunity to socialize while social distancing, and can even provide the care partner with a small break.

No experience is required. We will provide you with specialized training and will carefully match you with a family that fits your interests, personality and strengths.
