“In the beginning I wasn’t sure what to expect from this service, but my navigator has been very helpful. She has provided me with lots of knowledge and resources that I didn’t know I would need. She is like a friend I have never met. I’m very thankful for her!” – MCHS Caregiver

“My family and I have been privileged to receive support from Memory Care Home Solutions in assisting with the daily living activities of our elderly mother, who requires significant help. The level of support and care provided by your agency has exceeded well beyond our expectations. My husband and I have previously cared for or assisted eight other family parents and never knew about the assistance.”– MCHS Caregiver

“I am feeling less stressed knowing I have someone who can help me find the resources my mother needs.” – MCHS Caregiver

Charitable IRA Gifts

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

If you are 70½ or older, you are eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA. The maximum annual QCD limit is $100,000.
