You can depend on the Sun Health Memory Care Navigator to share knowledge about dementia and available community resources when you or a loved one experience memory lapses, behavioral changes and the inevitable functional decline brought on by dementia.

The program, offered at no charge thanks to the generous funding of Sun Health Foundation, provides personal and professional guidance for clients, family members and caregivers coping with the emotional, psychological and physical effects of dementia.
