Give to the Max for D-CAN

Help Provide Dementia Care in Central MN by Donating to D-CAN

Too many times, we heard dementia patients and families say, "They said there's nothing we can do; come back in a year."Families huddle in tears, trying to figure out what to do after hearing these words. With appointments for dementia specialists scheduled out five months or more, we decided to act. In 2021, we opened a Dementia Resource Center Clinic in St. Cloud, MN, where we provide comprehensive dementia care to those living with dementia. As a non-profit, your donations are needed to help make this work possible. We have set a goal of $30,000 to help pay for operational costs at our clinic. Please consider donating during Give to the Max!

A Better Way to Treat Dementia

We believe that collaborating with a patient, their family, and their dementia clinician can slow the progression of dementia symptoms, leading to more life to live. We start with a thorough dementia risk assessment and evaluation in our office, then formulate a diagnosis and management plan. A patient’s referring primary care physician remains in charge of their care, but we partner with them to provide a more thorough and successful management. Comprehensive recommendations for diet, exercise, sleep, relaxation, personal connection, health habits, and therapeutics can be effective in slowing progression.

But our support doesn’t end there. We recognize the essential role of caregivers, which is why we provide caregiver services and groups designed to support those who provide care daily, ensuring they, too, have the resources and encouragement they need.
