Caregiver Resources
Are you a caregiver or loved one caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease? HTA is proud to sponsor these groups for the fall of 2021.
Moment in Time
Life is more than years and days. It is filled with moments, and each one matters. That is what A Moment in Time is all about – making moments special. A Moment in Time meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at Jamestown United Methodist Church. Each one revolves around a theme and is filled with fun activities such as arts and crafts, music from days past, games, and conversation, which can be enjoyed together by those facing memory challenges and their caregivers. Individuals with any stage of dementia along with their caregivers are welcome. Caregivers can be anyone, including a spouse, child, grandchild, sibling, friend or paid support person. Originally formed in 2019 as the Memory Café, the group met on the Oakdale campus of Jamestown United Methodist Church. Participants were able to enjoy a Good Old Fashion Hoe Down!
