Caregiver Access

Caregiver Access was created by Christine Sotmary, who is the first Professional Caregiver Advocate ever. After caring for her husband for 8 years during his early-onset Alzheimer's disease she realized how little support families get during tough times. For the last three years she has been creating programs all over Westchester, NY, designed to make the lives of Family Caregivers easier. Her dream is to one day train Professional Caregiver Advocates all over the country to help Family and Informal Caregivers link to programs and their communities.
