Dementia Caregiver Resources, Inc.  Mission and Vision The founder of Dementia Caregiver Resources, Karen (Karle) Truman, saw her own beloved mother, grandmother, and other relatives stricken with Dementia, a terrible mind-robbing disease. And that's why the non-profit Dementia Caregiver Resources, Inc. organization was born, designed to help the caregiver through what we call a "journey" of dealing with a Loved One with any form of Dementia. As experts in Dementia care, we've also seen in others how caring for someone with any form of Dementia can be an emotionally-draining time, requiring much patience, time and even money. Because every Dementia patient is different, it can be quite difficult for caregivers to find answers to help guide them through the maze of key things to know, do and plan for. We don't claim to have all the answers. However, we liken the Dementia caregiver experience to a "journey" into this unknown. With information such as Caregiver Tips and addressing the issue of In-Home vs. Long-Term Care Placement among many topics covered, our role is to help shed some light to ease your way down this pathless path that we call: provide Jeff Truman earned his Masters in Education from the University of Southern California and his Masters in Counseling from Alabama. In 1996, Jeff retired from the U.S. Army after more than 20 years of service. He has been the director of Dementia Caregiver Resources since 2007.  Jeff’s emphasis is on helping the caregiver take care of themselves. He has also developed a fun, fast paced program showing how changes in sleep, diet and exercise, and stress reduction can reduce a person’s chances of developing dementia. Take a look at the many dementia caregiver advice and services we can provide, and then how we can help you or your organization in your efforts to care for those in your life with Dementia.
