Care for the Caregiver: Synapticure’s Resources and Support

Caregivers play an essential role in supporting loved ones living with Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. These roles can also be challenging and overwhelming. In the United States alone, there are approximately 37.1 million unpaid caregivers, with family members and friends providing 83% of the assistance older adults need. These individuals navigate daily caregiving responsibilities, balancing medical needs, emotional support, and logistics—all while facing high levels of stress and limited personal time.

At Synapticure, we recognize the weight of these responsibilities and are committed to providing caregivers with the specialized support they need to ensure both their well-being and that of their loved ones. Through care navigation, mental health support, local resource connections, and 24/7 access, Synapticure is here to make the caregiving journey more manageable and compassionate.

Care Navigation: Streamlining Care for Caregivers

Synapticure’s care navigation services guide caregivers through every step of managing a loved one’s care. Our dedicated care navigators are trained to handle the administrative and logistical demands, coordinating everything from setting up appointments to scheduling additional services like clinical trial support, physical therapy, behavioral health support, or community resources. This support helps caregivers focus on their loved ones while reducing the complexity of care.

Mental Health Support for Caregivers

Caregiving can take a toll on mental well-being, and individuals in these roles often face stress, anxiety, and depression at higher levels than the general population. Synapticure offers dedicated mental health support for caregivers, connecting them with neuropsychologists who are backed by a team of psychiatrists and mental health care managers. Services include virtual support groups and personalized talk therapy options, providing a safe space for caregivers to manage stress, discuss challenges, and receive professional support as they care for their loved ones.

Connecting Caregivers to Local Resources

Finding local resources that can provide valuable aid is often a difficult, time-consuming task. Synapticure’s care navigators help families identify and connect with community services, from support groups to meal delivery to transportation assistance, making it easier for caregivers to access the support they need locally. This hands-on approach relieves caregivers of the burden of resource-hunting, so they can focus on day-to-day care.

24/7 Access: Around-the-Clock Support

We understand that care needs can arise at any time. Synapticure offers 24/7 access to our care team, ensuring that caregivers can receive answers, reassurance, or urgent support whenever they need it. This constant availability provides caregivers with peace of mind, knowing that they are not alone in handling unexpected challenges.

GUIDE Program: Specialized Alzheimer’s Support

For those affected by Alzheimer’s, Synapticure’s GUIDE program delivers comprehensive, specialized support. Through GUIDE, eligible caregivers and patients benefit from services such as personalized care planning, regular monitoring, 24/7 access to care, and respite support, all designed to ease the caregiving experience and enhance quality of life for both caregivers and patients.

As one caregiver shared on their experience with Synapticure:

“My mother’s Synapticure team is fantastic. They make us feel like she is their most important patient. They are experts in their field and provide excellent care, but they also are kind and attentive and efficient. Also, being remote allows us, her daughters, to easily participate even though we live in different states, plus it allows my mom to have her appointments without ever leaving the house. Given the progression of her disease and that we are so far away, this allows her to continue to age in place as long as possible without sacrificing quality care. Synapticure has been a blessing to our family.”

Caregiving for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative conditions can be demanding, but Synapticure is here to provide unwavering support. With services that range from care navigation and mental health resources to local support connections and round-the-clock access, Synapticure ensures that caregivers have the tools and support they need to confidently care for their loved ones while also prioritizing their well-being.
