You Are Not Alone
Dementia Caregivers Connection: Support for Your Journey
Here to Guide You
Dementia Caregivers Connection was born from lived experience — the stress, the sleepless nights..., the hard decisions, and the deep love that carries families through.
Built with Heart
No caregiver walks alone
Not Built From Theory — Built From Experience
Everything we do at Dementia Caregivers Connection flows from a single, deeply personal truth: we have been where you are.
Founded by caregivers
for caregivers
A Journey That Began at Home
Pete Lindquist didn't set out to build an organization. He set out to care for someone he loved. Like so many families, he was handed a dementia diagnosis with little guidance and even less community — and he learned how to navigate it, imperfectly and intimately, one day at a time.
What he found along the way was a quiet but urgent gap — not in medical information, but in genuine human connection. In practical wisdom passed from one caregiver to another. In the simple but life-changing knowledge that you are not alone in this.
So he and a team of caregivers created a living community committed to overcoming personal challenges and supporting the enduring love that sustains families through these challenges.
“We wanted to create an oasis where caregivers could find answers in the comfort of their own homes.”
— Pete Lindquist
“A world where no caregiver walks this road alone.”
Connection, Insight & Relief
To connect dementia caregivers to community, practical insights, and genuine relief — so that no caregiver has to figure this out alone, without a hand to reach for or a voice that understands.
Built by caregivers. For caregivers.
No One Walks Alone
A world where no caregiver walks this road alone — where every family touched by dementia has access to the compassion, knowledge, and community they so deeply deserve.
Because love deserves a community behind it.
Dementia Caregivers Connection isn't a program someone designed from the outside. It is the community Pete Lindquist and his fellow caregivers wish had existed when they needed it most — and it grows stronger with every caregiver who joins it.
The People Behind DCC
Dementia Caregivers Connection is guided by people who understand this journey — not just professionally, but personally. We built this community because we needed it too.
