I met with Dina Zempsky - the Caregiver Program Director from Heights and Hills.
To get a better understanding of the full picture of Dementia, i decided to expand my research and delve into the world of caregivers (carers in English terms) as to what support there is and how this is fufilled in Brooklyn, New York.
The Heights and Hills program was developed only a year ago - after developing programs for elderly individuals living in the Brooklyn area. Numerous support groups, counselling sessions and social events allow for the caregiver to have respite and Heights and Hills provide care for the individual, to allow it to happen.
Heights and Hills provides for all elderly individuals living in Brooklyn and they have a mixture of health and physical abilities - from Dementia, Parkinsons and Diabetes. As a company, they also have close connections with other access programs such as MOMA, Mark Morris Dance Company, Concerts in Motions and Storycorps.
A fantastic company that do all they can for the elderly community of Brooklyn...
