"I could not have managed for the two year period without Acclaim Health Alzheimer’s. First it was the day care which is second to none. Then the Information Series where I became better informed about the disease and the services. Next came the support group with other caregivers. Once again Acclaim Health came to my rescue." - Jack Cartwright
