With knowledge comes understanding,
and with understanding comes compassion.
Our mission is simple – help the caregiver! We are caregivers too. We are mothers, daughters, and wives, and we believe caregivers are the backbone of the dementia health crisis sweeping the nation.
We are not a membership or dues paying organization. We just liked the name The Caregiver Club®. It is through the generous support from our donors that all our programs are free for caregivers and their loved ones with Alzheimer or other related dementias.
To immediately help caregivers, we created our caregiver cards. They are a resource for caregivers to use today! They decrease caregiver stress and isolation while increasing socialization for the individual with memory loss and their care partner.
In addition, we fund and run caregiver/companion outings to support our belief in the importance of socialization. Lastly, we offer our caregiver respite initiative that validates, thanks, and reenergizes caregivers.
Countless studies and medical professionals discuss the importance of socialization as a key piece in the prevention of Alzheimer’s or other related dementias. The Caregiver Club® leans into improving an individual’s level of socialization through the programs we support and the products we sell.

Caregiver Testimonial
Your organization is a blessing. There are many organizations that offer advice in dealing with loved ones with dementia, but your organization seems to be the only one who thinks of the struggles the caregivers go through. Keep up the great work. I’ll be sure to pass along your information to anyone else I know in a similar situation as myself.
Thank you again

Caregiver Companion Outings
The first program we support with our donations is our Caregiver/Companion outings. Socialization is a crucial component of brain health, and we combat that full-on with our Caregiver/Companion outings. These outings are designed for the caregiver and their companion with memory loss. These events are The Caregivers Club™ version of a typical support group model. They are designed to be small, supportive, and fun. These special events are an excellent way for you and your loved one with dementia to get out of the house and connect with others in a caring and understanding environment. Please check our EVENTS page for the most up-to-date information and register; space is limited.
Caregiver Respite Initiative
Our second donation funded program is our Caregiver Respite Initiative. The Caregiver Club® is passionate about giving back to caregivers. As caregivers, we know just how far a little support can go. That is why we created our caregiver respite initiative. Four times a year, The Caregiver Club® will choose nominated caregivers to receive our funding and caregiver appreciation gifts. Head to our NOMINATE A CAREGIVER page for more information on how to nominate a caregiver today.
Dementia Friendly Dining
Dementia Friendly Dining is a St. Louis-based program that encourages caregivers and their loved ones with memory loss to return to eating out confidently. The Caregiver Club® has partnered with local restaurants to train staff in the best dementia communication practices. These restaurants are committed to being a welcoming and dementia-friendly environment.
