When memory changes began affecting her husband, Marty Berry found herself navigating unfamiliar territory.

“The classes I’ve taken have taught me patience in caring for my husband, Chuck” she shared. “The instructors and my classmates remind me that I’m not alone.”

After Chuck’s diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, the couple turned to Health First Aging Services and the Center for Family Caregivers. There, they discovered practical tools, expert guidance, and a supportive community—resources made possible through donor generosity.

Gifts to Aging Services during the Associate Month of Giving ensure families like the Berry’s receive free education, compassionate support, and evidence-based strategies to manage cognitive changes with confidence and hope. These programs, including the Memory Disorder Clinic, Geriatric Clinic, and Center for Family Caregivers—are the only ones of their kind in our region, empowering caregivers with knowledge and comfort when they need it most.

Even if you never need these services yourself, the impact is real and lasting. Your support strengthens families, restores confidence, and brings comfort to caregivers across Brevard County.

You can be part of someone’s journey forward.
