The Autonomous Municipality of Caguas and the non-profit Fundación De Frente al Alzheimer have opened a free day care center for people with Alzheimer's and a rest space for their caregivers. [^1]

The center, called 'De Frente al Alzheimer te da un Respiro', sits in the Cañaboncito neighborhood and runs out of remodeled facilities at the community's Centro de Integración Comunitaria. [^2] It opens Wednesdays and Fridays, 8:00 a.m. to noon, staffed by a coordinator, a social worker, a therapist, a nurse and caregivers. [^3]

Mayor William Miranda Torres said the municipality helped pay for the remodeling and the operation, providing the facilities, two caregivers, utility payments and an estimated $40,000 annual contribution. [^4] The services are for people in the mild to moderate stages of the disease.

The read here is that a free, staffed space two mornings a week is aimed squarely at the caregivers who carry the daily load. The facts do not give a start date or an enrollment cap, so how many families the Cañaboncito site can serve is not stated.
