What We Offer….

Providing you with a safe space to connect

We meet with individuals and family members to listen and provide support on many levels. Together, we help develop a positive way to move forward into the future. This critical support continues as the individual and their family members navigate their personal journey of living with Alzheimer's disease.

Wonderful memories and joyous moments with their loved ones are created along the way!

We will help you connect with others who understand and who are facing similar challenges.

"Susan made my husband comfortable, and he had no idea he was being assessed. The report on medical terms went to primary care and the report I was given covered so many positive areas in our dementia journey, explained where he was in his disease and gave me insight into what I should watch for. The model needs to continue so others can get answers that aren't given by another specialist." —AT

"I have passed on the assessment info to our part time caregiver and to some family members to help them understand more on how to best communicate, interact and care for our loved ones. To me, it's invaluable!" —JE

"Mrs. Susan Raychard was exceptional. Her wisdom and approach were by far beyond any professional we have seen. Her caring heart showed through and through. The information she gave us for follow up with our PCP was extremely helpful. As a consultant we found her to be exceptional." —CD

“There comes a time with those of us who are caregivers to turn to others. It is that time for me.  How fortunate to have A Place To Start. After meeting with your group, I felt a lifting of weight I've not felt for a long time.” —SG
