Through the SSVF Program, El-Ada will provide outreach and case management services and will assist participants in obtaining VA benefits and other public benefits. Program is for residents of ada, elmore, and canyon counties.

A support group for caregivers of those with autism to gather for a moderated discussion and resource sharing that meets twice a month on the second and fourth Wednesday from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Attendees receive complimentary dinner and childcare services. Parent/Guardian(s) are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes before the start time to provide the Childcare Specialists with essential information about your child to prepare for any possible issues. After the meeting, parents receive a report on their child’s care during the group session.
RSVP is necessary at least two days before each meeting to ensure we have adequate staff and make the necessary arrangements for dinner and childcare. However, we understand the challenges that may arise in planning and will try our best to accommodate late RSVPs. Our primary aim is to maintain a low staff-to-child ratio to provide adequate care.

This is a casual gathering to provide socialization, interaction, peer support, a sense of belonging and a sense of well-being. For persons diagnosed with Alzheimers or other related dementia and their care partners (Family and friends).  There is no cost, no judgement, or expectations. Just companionship and fun. Held the 4th Thursday of the month. Contact Ella Willing at 208-791-7772. Location: Mama K’s: 902 6th St Clarkston, Washington

Dementia Friends is a global movement that is changing the way people think, act and talk about dementia. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United Kingdom and adopted by the U.S., the Dementia Friends initiative is now in Idaho. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects people, each of us can make a difference for people touched by dementia and reduce the stigma surrounding dementia.

This project focuses on enhancing the quality of life for persons with dementia and their caregivers. The project strengthens dementia capability for service providers, public, family caregivers, and education programs.
