💜 The Power of Partnership: Building a Dementia-Supportive Community Together
At Dementia Family Support (DFS), we believe that meaningful impact doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens through connection, collaboration, and shared purpose.
Dementia care is complex. Families often find themselves navigating uncharted territory — juggling medical questions, emotional challenges, legal decisions, and the daily realities of providing care. No single organization can meet all those needs alone. That’s why DFS proudly partners with like-minded professionals who go the extra mile to bring real support to families living with brain change.
Together, we’re proving that when businesses and organizations unite with a common goal — to understand, educate, and empower — we can create a true dementia-supportive community.
🌿 Visiting Angels of Marmora — Turning Training into Transformation
Our long-standing partnership with Visiting Angels of Marmora has become a model for what quality home care can look like when dementia understanding is woven into every layer of service.
Visiting Angels isn’t satisfied with simply providing care — they’re committed to providing the right kind of care. Through our collaboration, their caregivers participate in Positive Approach to Care (PAC) education, field coaching, and scenario-based workshops that help them see beyond the diagnosis and connect with the person behind it.
From learning Supportive Communication techniques to practicing Hand-Under-Hand guidance, their team is continually deepening their understanding of how dementia changes the brain — and how that knowledge can transform relationships, reduce stress, and improve quality of life.
Because of this shared commitment, families across South Jersey are benefiting from a care team that is more confident, compassionate, and connected than ever before.
⚖️ Rothkoff Law Group — Where Advocacy Meets Empathy
Legal planning can be one of the most daunting parts of the dementia journey — but for clients of Rothkoff Law Group, the experience is deeply human.
For years, Rothkoff Law Group has partnered directly with Jen Riggs, Director of Dementia Services and founder of Dementia Family Support, to provide dementia-specific education, insight, and emotional guidance for families.
While their attorneys handle the critical details of care planning, guardianship, and Medicaid, Jen helps families understand the person behind the paperwork — offering a bridge between the legal process and the lived experience of dementia.
This partnership ensures that Rothkoff’s clients not only have a sound legal plan but also the understanding, tools, and confidence to make that plan work in real life. Together, we turn anxiety into action, confusion into clarity, and fear into forward movement.
🏡 Haddon Home Care — A New Partnership Rooted in Purpose
We’re thrilled to welcome Haddon Home Care as our newest partner in dementia education and support!
From the start, their leadership demonstrated a clear vision — to create a care culture that doesn’t just “manage” dementia, but understands it. That vision aligns perfectly with the DFS mission.
Through our new monthly consulting program, Haddon Home Care will receive:
- Customized PAC-based training for all caregivers and staff
- Family education sessions to help loved ones better navigate dementia at home
- Community outreach initiatives co-branded with DFS to raise awareness and normalize dementia conversations
This partnership is about more than training — it’s about changing culture, improving confidence, and elevating every interaction between care partners and clients.
💬 Why These Partnerships Matter
At DFS, we often say: “Dementia is not just a diagnosis — it’s a journey that requires a village.”
Each of these partnerships represents a vital part of that village:
- Visiting Angels brings compassion and skill into the home.
- Rothkoff Law Group brings advocacy and clarity to the planning process.
- Haddon Home Care brings fresh energy and commitment to professional growth.
When we work together — with empathy, education, and aligned purpose — we make it possible for families to experience less fear, more confidence, and deeper peace of mind.
These are the partnerships that build hope.
These are the partnerships that change lives.
These are the partnerships that define Dementia Family Support.
