In 2012, Anna’s mother, Laura, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and she didn’t know
where to turn. Gratefully, Anna found Alzheimer’s Los Angeles and she connected with
a Care Counselor. Anna was able to be there for her mom because we were there for
her when she needed help understanding her own frustration and what to do to make
things better for them both.
Anna joined a Savvy Caregiver class and found it was more than the information
provided that helped. “I was just so broken some days,” says Anna. “I would go to class
and feel lifted up so I could keep coming home.”

Even armed with additional knowledge and skills, Anna occasionally found herself in need of urgent help. One time,
her mother ran out of the house and Anna couldn’t get her to come back in, so she called the Helpline and we talked
her through the situation. “I felt so guilty because I was exhausted. Having Alzheimer’s LA on the other end of the line,
acknowledging my pain and frustration, was so helpful.”
Unfortunately, Laura’s three siblings have all developed Alzheimer’s so Anna continues working with a care counselor
to support her cousins and extended family through this extremely difficult situation. Most recently, our Care Counselor
worked with Anna and her family to find placement for her aunt.
“I couldn’t be more appreciative and thankful. They (Alzheimer’s LA) know what we’re going through and exactly how
to help.”
