Caring for someone with dementia can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to manage work, family, safety concerns, repeated questions, behavior changes, and the emotional weight of it all.

Get Care at Home is hosting Caregiver Café, a free monthly gathering for family caregivers supporting a loved one living with dementia.

This is not a sales event. It is a space for practical guidance, caregiver support, useful resources, and honest conversation with people who understand what this season requires.

Lunch is provided. Seats are limited so we can keep the gathering personal and meaningful.

Hosted by Get Care at Home, a Sacramento Favorites award-winning organization specializing in dementia support.

Are you making a dessert for an upcoming Memorial Day picnic? Try this Berry Almond Crisp as a perfect summery treat!

Ingredients:
• 1 pound strawberries
• 14 ounces red currants
• 1½ pounds raspberries
• Generous 1 cup superfine sugar, divided
• 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• sticks salted butter, diced and softened, plus more for greasing

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease two 9½-inch round porcelain baking dishes with melted butter. Wash and dry all the fruit, and then hull the strawberries and pull the red currants off their stalks.
2. Put the berries and currants in a large bowl, sprinkle with a scant ½ cup of the sugar, and stir to combine. Divide the fruit between the baking dishes, spreading it in a single layer.
3. In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, remaining sugar, diced butter, and ground almonds. Rub the ingredients lightly together with your fingertips until coarse crumbs form.
4. Scatter a layer of the crumb mixture over the fruit in the baking dishes and bake for 40 minutes, until the topping is golden and crisp. Serve warm.

Caregiving is one of the hardest jobs in the world, especially when you feel like you’re flying blind. ❤️🩹

Inspired by her own journey with her father’s dementia, one daughter created the guide she wished she’d had. It’s a beautiful example of turning personal struggle into a lifeline for others. Whether you are currently a caregiver or just want to be prepared, this resource is a game-changer.
