Some of the best life advice comes from someone who’s walked the same path. They’ve been there—faced the challenges, made the mistakes, found what works—and now they’re sharing their wisdom to help others. When we first step into the role of caregiver, it can feel overwhelming because we’re never fully prepared. Everything is new, and most of us are figuring it out as we go. Wouldn’t it be great to get tips and tools from someone who’s already been through it? Now you can.

Introducing the Caregiver Kit

Alzheimer’s Caregiving and The Caregivers is offering free Caregiver Kits filled with practical information, helpful resources, and heartfelt advice—from caregivers, for caregivers.

The organization was founded in 2023 by Tony Vericella, a longtime executive in Hawai‘i’s tourism industry and devoted caregiver to his beloved wife, who is living with Alzheimer’s disease. He launched the nonprofit on their wedding anniversary, which also happens to be World Alzheimer’s Day, as a way to give back and support others on the same journey.

What’s Inside the Kit?

The Caregiver Kits include everything from guiding principles for dementia care, a list of tried and true caregiving supplies, activities to keep your person engaged and entertained, and trusted places to learn more and get support. The kits come neatly packaged in a folder and can be mailed to caregivers across Hawai‘i—and even nationwide.
