Welcome to EnergizeCare

Supporting caregivers. Empowering families.

Caring for a loved one with early-stage Alzheimer’s is a journey—one you shouldn’t have to face alone. EnergizeCare provides vital respite services and wellness support so both caregivers and their loved ones can thrive.

We’re partnering with local organizations to launch warm, engaging adult outdoor and indoor day programs that give caregivers the break they need while enriching the lives of those with Alzheimer’s. Our vision? To build Ohio’s first freestanding respite center designed specifically for caregivers and individuals with early-stage Alzheimer’s, where care meets community.

Respite Care Opportunities

Respite for You, Engagement for Them

You are the heart of our mission. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can be both rewarding and exhausting, and we understand how much you need reliable help even for just a few hours. That’s why we provide a safe, welcoming environment filled with engaging activities for your loved one. While they are cared for, you can use these three-plus hours to work, run errands, enjoy self-care, visit friends, catch up on housework, or simply rest and recharge.
