Care Partner to Caregiver, LLC was created by me, Josie Zamora, RN, BSN, MSN. I am a Georgetown resident, where I have lived with my husband since 2012. I created Care Partner to Caregiver, LLC because of my personal experience as a caregiver. My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1992 and lived with the disease for fourteen years. When my mother received her diagnosis, I felt lost. How would I care for my mother? Who would I call to ask for help? And would they understand my situation? I remember feeling all alone trying to help my mother on her Alzheimer's journey. 

​

According to the Alzheimer's Association there are over six million people living with Alzheimer's today. Our healthcare system offers a variety of services for those living with memory loss, but the care options are often fragmented and the healthcare landscape difficult to navigate. Care Partner to Caregiver care management is a way for those living with a loved one affected by memory loss to get the help they need as well as answers to their questions. Our care management services are customized to meet the client's needs for every phase of the journey.
