Catskill Area Hospice & Palliative Care is the recipient of the Alzheimer’s Association of Northeastern New York’s Community Advocate Award for 2009. Over the last four years Catskill Area Hospice & Palliative Care and the Alzheimer’s Association have partnered in many different ways including the creation of the educational DVD “Making Life Easier….Together” for those newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
The partnership has also developed educational programs for both families and professionals, and has streamlined services by making joint home visits. “This award symbolizes the difference hospice makes in the lives of those with Alzheimer’s disease and their families,” said Ann Marie Thayer, Alzheimer’s Association Program Manager.
The award will be formally presented at the Alzheimer’s Association Annual Winter Awards Reception on December 3rd in Albany.
