GILDS (Grants to Increase Local Dementia Support)

Our GILDS (Grants to Increase Local Dementia Support) program is here for both individuals living with dementia and the families and caregivers who support them. We know that dementia affects everyone involved, and our department is dedicated to walking alongside you through each step of the journey. From practical services to educational resources and emotional support, we provide the tools, guidance, and care you need to help your loved one maintain dignity, independence, and quality of life – while also supporting your well-being as a caregiver.

Through GILDS, we provide:

• Support Groups offered in collaboration with the Nueva Luz Foundation, where caregivers and families can share experiences, learn strategies, and find encouragement.
• Caregiver Education & Resources in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, helping families navigate the journey with confidence and understanding.
• Engaging Activities that promote social connection, cognitive stimulation, and emotional well-being.
