• Socialization for our friend
- Enjoyable time for all involved
- Engage in activities while helping to preserve skills
- Enable her to keep involved in social relationships through friendship care visits
- Enrich her life in areas of trust, self-esteem, and social interaction
- Encourage her through positive feedback
• Provide a needed break for her husband and/or family
- Provides a block of time that he can use however he wants
- Prevents his social isolation by allowing him to engage in activities away from his home
- Promotes a sense of relief knowing that he has a team of ladies who sincerely care about his wife
• Share our model of friendship visits with churches, communities, families and any organization wanting to help a friend with dementia
- We think our model can be used by any number of people willing to organize and make visits to someone with any cognitive issue.
- This model of friendship care visits can be used with men (just change some of the activities to appeal to men).
- The name can be adjusted to include both men and women making friendship visits, such as Lasting-Links.
- This model can be used with a family organizing visits by children to a family member with cognitive issues and could be called Little-Links.
- A church or senior living facility can easily apply this model to serving its members/residents.
- All information necessary to start your own Lady-Links group can be found by scrolling through the posts on this website.
- Use our contact information if you have specific questions.
