What is Palliative Care, what is Hospice, what is the difference?
When is it time to consider Palliative Care/Hospice?
How will my loved one receive Palliative Care/Hospice?
Where will my loved one receive Palliative Care/Hospice?
Who provides Palliative Care/Hospice?

The world is facing a crisis as baby boomers age into dementia. The U.S. is no exception with an estimated 16 million unpaid dementia family caregivers currently punching dementia in the face every damn day while trying to keep our dementia loved ones and ourselves afloat emotionally, physically, financially.​

The documentary feature Wine, Women, and Dementia exposes the isolation, financial stress, physical and emotional toll these family caregivers shoulder

for their dementia loved ones and themselves.

And in a system that offers few resources or support, they build community, champion each other, and learn to celebrate LIFE on the long road to death.

It's a roadtrip connecting the disconnected - because until there's a cure, there's community.

Tickets are $9 until October 15, $10 after that and at the door. The concessions and wine bar will be open and HOPE is providing pizza.

Loving Them Forward, Elfin Services and Mikey's House Team-Keller Williams Presents:

A Caregiver Christmas

Every year during the holidays there are a lot of events for seniors, children and those in need. However, there are no community events for caregivers specifically. So many caregivers said last year at the event that this is the first time they'd been acknowledged during the holidays. It is because of the Caregiver Christmas that they finally felt seen, heard and valued.

Because of generous sponsors and individuals like you, we can give 1,500 caregivers a wonderful Christmas! Last year we gave out 400 gift bags to caregivers in Clark County. This year we will be giving out 1,500 to the invisible heroes who care for the seniors and loved ones in our community!

Premier sponsor placement is limited and spots go fast! Please contact us today to claim your spot for this AMAZING EVENT!!!

BE A PART OF SAYING THANK YOU TO CAREGIVERS FOR ALL THEY DO!!!
