The Alzheimer’s Project’s Legacy Corps for Veterans and Military Families Program provides a unique opportunity for members to support veterans and military families impacted by cognitive impairments. This program addresses the need for alternative respite care strategies for veteran and military caregivers, aiming to assess caregiver outcomes and enable clients to stay in their communities longer, thus delaying or preventing institutional care.
