“Our mission: the greater lansing care foundation is a non-profit, community-based organization dedicated to providing support and education to caregivers who have a family member with dementia. The foundation aims to ensure that all caregivers have equal access to valuable community resources to reduce the physical, psychological, financial, and social burdens commonly associated with the management of dementia. The foundation will aim to provide services to families within the greater lansing area, particularly those from historically underserved populations. Our vision: to ensure that no family member in the greater lansing community ever feels as if they are alone when it comes to caring for a loved one with dementia. Core care values: c: compassion: empathy and compassion serve as a central foundation principle based on the prioritization of good communication, patience, understanding, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. A: accountability & reliability: the foundation pledges the highest level of accountability to those who serve to promote the goals of the foundation and to those that it provides service. Providing reliable and ethical services to those who trust to utilize foundation services is paramount. R: respect: respect for the wide range of values and principles held by those who serve the foundation and for those whom it serves regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious expression, or physical/mental ability. E: expansion and innovation: creating innovative programming to enhance and advance the delivery of validated caregiver resources to families within the greater lansing community.”

“The foundation has created a free lecture series for community members who have a loved one with dementia. Lectures are held quarterly and focus on a single issue relevant to caregivers, including mental health, elder law, and current treatment trends in dementia. The foundation also has a monthly newsletter, an informative podcast aimed at expanding information presented in the lecture series, and an active community calendar to inform community members about existing events that may be relevant to caregivers who have a loved one with dementia. The foundation also produces social media posts aimed at further expanding mission awareness. The foundation is actively developing an ai-driven database for caregivers to search for valuable information about dementia. We are also developing a small asks program to offer small grants to families in need.”
