This team, consisting of 4-10 volunteers, is trained by the Eddy and provides non-medical support as a "care partner" to community members with Alzheimer's disease and his/her family. The care team meets every 6 weeks where volunteers sign up to assist their care partner for a few hours each week.

Examples of volunteer activities include:
 

• Lending a listening ear, visitng for socialization
• Running errands, picking up groceries or a prescription at the pharmacy
• Listening to music or watching a ballgame
• Taking a walk, visiting a museum or enjoying other community outings
• Assist with transportation
• Delivering a hot meal, preparing lunch
• Providing the caregiver "a break" and much needed respite
