CAREGIVER CONNECTION— Coming Soon from S.O.A.R.
A new program built specifically for dementia caregivers in the Greater Cincinnati region — family member or not.
S.O.A.R. is preparing to launch Caregiver Connection, a program designed specifically to support anyone caring for a loved one with dementia, whether or not they're a family member. The program combines trained volunteers — who complete a short orientation before being matched, then listen and help connect caregivers to the right resources — with a broader resource repository: a central hub
connecting caregivers to the many programs and services available to help them along their caregiving
journey.
This page marks our soft launch. We're introducing the program and building our early interest list ahead of our full public launch.
