Family Caregivers: Meet Sharon & Ronna

At Oakwood Creative Care, we recognize the important role of family caregivers. They often face difficult journeys when caring for their loved ones.

The impacts of Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other age-related issues affect the entire family. However, it’s a path that need not be walked alone.

November is National Family Caregivers Month (spearheaded by the Caregiver Action Network, CAN). We’re celebrating the caregivers within our community for their tenacity and unconditional love by sharing this beautiful story of one of Oakwood Creative Care’s very own Members. In the video below, meet OCC member Sharon, and her daughter and caregiver, Ronna:

Welcome

We're a nonprofit organization based in Mesa, Arizona with three senior day club locations (and a fourth on the way) which serve older adults with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, and various other physical or cognitive challenges. Life does not end with a diagnosis. Our members continue to learn new skills, enjoy new discoveries, make friends, laugh, and live a joy-filled life. Our team of dementia experts lead support groups, events, classes, and private sessions with caregivers and families, guiding them on the best methods to care for their loved ones while also caring for themselves.
