Alzheimer's Home Care & Family Support

Every family has an Alzheimer's story. Whether it begins with small memory changes or a life-changing diagnosis, Alzheimer's affects the entire family. That belief inspired Senior Helpers of Waxhaw-Monroe to bring the Walk to End Alzheimer's and Community Resource Fair to Union County. Families from Monroe, Indian Trail, Waxhaw, Concord, Kannapolis, Salisbury, Albemarle and surrounding communities came together to learn, remember loved ones and discover local resources. While the walk lasted one morning, our commitment continues every day.

A Community Connected by Compassion

The event united caregivers, healthcare professionals, volunteers, students and community partners with one shared goal—supporting families affected by Alzheimer's disease. Many came seeking answers, encouragement and hope.

Education Matters

Families asked about home care, caregiver burnout, safety, respite care and planning ahead. Early education helps families make informed decisions before a crisis occurs.

Caregivers Need Support Too

Caring for someone with Alzheimer's is rewarding but demanding. Taking breaks is essential. Families who need temporary relief may benefit from Respite Care.

Helping Seniors Remain at Home

Across Union, Cabarrus, Rowan and Stanly Counties, families often tell us they simply want their loved one to remain safely at home. Support may includecompanionship, personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders and specialized dementia care.

Our Commitment

Although the walk has ended, Senior Helpers of Waxhaw-Monroe continues to support families through education, community partnerships and compassionate in-home Alzheimer's care.
