Legacy Building
Some of the greatest gifts we can give to those we care about are memories. Share the experiences that kept you laughing, persevering, inspired, and moving forward no matter how difficult circumstances were. We'll create a professionally designed booklet of your memories that can be passed down from generation to generation along with the wisdom you want your family members to know about you and who you are. Give them more than money, more than property. Give them your legacy. www.legacyleaf.live

Happy to serve you, while you serve them!
We know how difficult it can be to provide care to someone with a form of dementia. Whether they have Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy-Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, Vascular Dementia, Parkinson's Dementia, Mixed Dementia or any other form of dementia, you commit your time, energy, attention, and money to help. You're there when very few others dare to be. You know how difficult it can be to create a smile and how satisfying it can be to hear a single word or experience a brief moment of laughter. Your gratitude runs deep through rapids of exhaustion, stress, and joy.
Caregiving is done by brave people who dare to serve a vulnerable person during one of the longest medical pathologies there is. That's why caregivers are our heroes!
We're honored to be part of these investments in your relationships, families, and community by supplying you with what you need to make this usually unpaid healthcare possible and consistent. Balancing self-care and self-compassion with service, care partners are often the ones who ensure safety, create a sense of security, comfort those who are afraid, soothe anxiety, uplift the depressed, prevent infections, advocate in clinics, and transport to medical appointments and emergency rooms! Until our systems are able to compensate you for all you do and are, we at Dementia Care Depot will do everything we can bring you value, encouragement, and the items you need to thrive!
