Care Team Calendar

          The Alzheimer's Association Care Team Calendar, powered by          Lotsa Helping Hands, is a free, personalized online tool to organize          family and friends who want to help with caregiving.          This service makes it easy to share activities and information with          your community.          Here's how:

1. Helpers can sign up for specific tasks, such as preparing meals, providing rides or running errands. You can post items for which assistance is needed

2. From your Care Team Calendar, friends and family can access AlzConnected message boards, post announcements and photos, and share information.

When someone asks "what can I do to help?" ask them for their email address. Then simply add them to your Care Team Calendar. From there, they can sign up and start helping.   

If you’re caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, you are not alone.  You can get support from others who understand what you’re going through at our new online Alzheimer’s and Dementia  Caregiver Center, a “ONE-STOP SHOP” for resources and information that caregivers need throughout every stage of the disease.
