The Caring for the Caregiver Program (C4CP) at UT Health San Antonio made possible by generous supporters including Deborah and David Rogers, is making a real difference for families impacted by dementia.<\/p>\n

At a recent Memory Caf\u00e9 event held at the Botanical Garden, caregivers and their loved ones enjoyed a Fall Culinary Class together. For one San Antonio man, attending meant finding support beyond his family. When his wife, who has dementia, couldn\u2019t join him, he invited a young H-E-B employee who had often\"two shown kindness to him during grocery trips. This employee stepped up, joining him at the Memory Caf\u00e9 as a supportive friend.<\/p>\n

This story highlights the powerful sense of community H-E-B fosters, going beyond transactions to offer companionship when it\u2019s needed most. The Memory Caf\u00e9 events, hosted by the C4CP, provide essential social connections for caregivers and those they care for. Through these gatherings, families find camaraderie, exchange <\/span>tips<\/span> and enjoy respite in a compassionate environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

UT Health San Antonio\u2019s Caring for the Caregiver program was one of three organizations awarded nationally with the Maude’s Award. This national recognition rewards innovations that enrich the quality of life for persons living with Alzheimer\u2019s disease and related dementias, as well as their care partners. Caring for the Caregiver won for the category, \u201cSupporting Care Partners,\u201d providing education, <\/span>training<\/span> or support for care partners of persons living with dementia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
