Peer & Community Engagement for Participants
Peace of Mind for Caregivers
A Place Like Home offers peace of mind for the caregivers with family members who are experiencing dementia and other types of brain change. It is a place where these individuals can engage in activities and socialize with peers. APLH seeks to prevent a premature nursing home placement by affording the caregiver the opportunity to regroup, recharge, and refresh while caring for their loved ones.

In doing so, A Place Like Home aims to prevent premature nursing home placements and to ensure that participants have a fulfilling and enriching experience while attending the program.
At A Place Like Home, we understand the importance of providing the 24/7, at-home caregivers with much needed breaks while caring for their loved ones.
