The Leeza in Leeza’s Care Connection is Leeza Gibbons, host of the Rose Parade telecast, former host at Entertainment Tonight and winner of Celebrity Apprentice.
Leeza’s story includes caring for her mother and grandmother through Alzheimer’s disease. Unable to easily find support, she started her Care Connection to help others in similar situations.
The Care Connection has chapters in Los Angeles and Columbia, South Carolina. The website features in-person events in those locations. (The Senior Prom looks especially fun!) There are also loads of virtual events.
The Care Connection website is full of useful blog posts and resources. We especially like the Caregiver Bill of Rights. There is also an excellent article about the power of support groups. We added some of that information to our feature on support groups as a workplace benefit. The link is below.
Leeza’s appears to be donation-driven, offering free workshops and free virtual support groups. There are many resources that appear to be excellent.
