alza is launching the implementation of its new project, “Laços – Home-Based Dementia Care”, which provides specialised support for people living with dementia and their caregivers in the comfort of their own homes. The initiative aims to help people with dementia maintain their abilities, independence and quality of life, while also supporting caregivers in managing the challenges associated with providing care.
The support provided to people living with dementia includes cognitive stimulation, physical and psychomotor rehabilitation, as well as activities designed to promote independence. Caregiver support includes psychological counselling, guidance on dementia and practical training to strengthen caregiving skills.
The initiative is developed by the Alzheimer's Association of the Azores (alza), with the support of Fidelidade Comunidade.
For more information about the project, please contact the association by email at lacos.alza@gmail.com or by phone at 961 719 899 or 296 653 073.
