About This Directory
Gloria’s Way is run by local caregivers who live in Northeast Ohio and who care about your next decision! We are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
This site is a carefully curated resource guide, a calendar of events and a community forum, all developed especially for caregivers caring for someone in the early stages of memory loss. We are currently operating in the communities of Cuyahoga and Lorain Counties, with plans to expand over time.
The resources listed in this directory have been compiled by Gloria’s Way. Additional information is available by calling us at 216-352-1106.
