Seacoast Dementia Hub

Supporting Dementia Caregivers with Trusted Resources and Compassionate Guidance

A CAREGIVER SUPPORT PROGRAM

The Seacoast Dementia Hub began in 2021 with a group of local caregivers who had walked the difficult and often confusing road of supporting a loved one with dementia. They understood what it felt like to search for answers, juggle services, and feel isolated in the process. Out of their shared experience, a vision formed:

What if there were one place to go where caregivers could find guidance, local resources, and emotional support? That vision became the Seacoast Dementia Hub. Because no one should have to navigate dementia alone. 

Our mission is simple: to be your trusted guide, connecting you to resources, education, and support tailored to your needs. Whether you’re just beginning to explore what a dementia diagnosis means, or you’ve been on this journey for years, we’re here to help you feel less alone and more empowered.

Connecting You to the Right Support, at the Right Time

When you’re caring for someone with dementia, every day can bring new questions. Seacoast Dementia Hub is a free, community-based program designed to help caregivers and their loved ones navigate the challenges of diagnosis, care, and daily life.

We believe that when caregivers are supported, loved ones receive better care. Whether you need a quick answer or long-term planning help, we’re here to offer a safe harbor.

The Founding Vision

“Finding a reliable source of information and advice without an expensive and haphazard journey is the purpose of the Seacoast Dementia Hub. This is the most important recommendation I can give after my 20+ years of family caregiving.”
