Our volunteers are not trained to work with people who have cognitive impairment or dementia. Members must possess a certain amount of autonomy and initiative to request and receive services.

We recommend that neighbors with cognitive loss or dementia reach out to the following local organizations for programs, activities, and information:
• Club Memory at Sibley offers social opportunities and support groups for people with early cognitive loss and their care partners.
• Iona Senior Services offers a variety of programs, including Adult Day Health, Information and Referral, and Case Management.
• Friends Club of Bethesda is a social group designed to enhance the lives of men living with dementia.
• The Alzheimer’s Association of the National Capital Area offers resources, information, and support groups.
