You first notice small changes in your loved one’s memory. Missed appointments. Forgotten conversations. Confusion about medications. What starts as occasional concern slowly becomes a daily responsibility.
Like many family caregivers, you find yourself balancing work, family, and the growing demands of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. You and your siblings want your loved one to remain safe and independent at home, but you know you can’t do it alone.
Your story reflects the reality faced by millions of families caring for older adults with dementia.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, nearly 12 million Americans provide unpaid care for a family member living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. Caregivers often experience increased stress, emotional strain, and health challenges while helping loved ones navigate memory loss and changing care needs.
At Gary and Mary West PACE, we understand that dementia affects entire families—not just the person receiving the diagnosis.
The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) helps older adults with complex health conditions, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, continue living safely at home while receiving comprehensive healthcare and support services. Through one coordinated team, participants have access to medical care, medications, rehabilitation therapies, transportation, nutritious meals, social activities, and in-home support.
For caregivers, this means having a trusted partner.
Rather than coordinating multiple appointments, providers, and services alone, families gain an interdisciplinary team focused on the participant’s health, safety, and quality of life. Social engagement, cognitive stimulation, medication management, and ongoing medical oversight help support aging in place while reducing caregiver burden.
According to the National PACE Association, more than 90,000 older adults nationwide receive care through PACE programs, helping participants remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible.
For you, PACE can bring peace of mind. Your loved one will receive coordinated dementia care, meaningful social connection, and support from a team that understands their changing needs. You will gain confidence knowing you and others helping provide care no longer carry the responsibility alone.
If you are looking for dementia care in North County San Diego, Alzheimer’s caregiver support, or resources that can help a loved one remain safely at home, Gary and Mary West PACE may be able to help.
