Kid Caregivers is a 501c3 nonprofit organization which supports and empowers children who are acting as caregivers. Our mission is to help young people cope and to enliven the lives of adults living with Alzheimer's disease. We offer intergenerational Puzzle Time programs and training to enhance eldercare globally. We encourage young people to use their skills to benefit the dementia community.
I recruited my good friend and we spent the day with the seniors at my mom's nursing facility. We were very productive. All the seniors that we worked with were very happy during our puzzle activities. We let the seniors take the lead. If they needed help we directed them, if they seemed independent we encouraged them to solve the puzzles.
