    Support & Resources

    You aren't alone. There's a large and experienced Alzheimer's community out there. Here's where to find the help, support, and advice you need.

    1. Where to Find Support for Alzheimer’s

      1. Where to Find Support

        A diagnosis of Alzheimer's will affect your body, mind, and emotions. Counseling and support groups can be great outlets.

      2. Where to Find Resources

        There are many organizations that can tell you more about Alzheimer's and offer support for those who have it. 

      3. Organizations for Caregivers

        Here is a list of national caregiving organizations for Alzheimer's disease.

      4. Caregivers and Social Distancing

        Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's was a challenging job even before COVID-19 came onto the scene.

    2. Care Facilities

      1. Long-Term Care for Your Loved One

        Long-term care facilities make sure your loved one with Alzheimer's is safe and getting the attention they need.

      2. Help With in-Home Care

        If your loved one with Alzheimer's lives at home, you may want to hire someone to help you care for them.

      3. Adult Day Care for Alzheimer's

        No matter how great a caregiver you are for someone with Alzheimer's, eventually you’re going to need a break.

      4. Assisted Living for Alzheimer’s

        When someone with Alzheimer’s can’t live alone anymore, an assisted living facility can make sure they get the care they need.

      5. Nursing Home vs. Memory Care

        Nursing homes and memory care facilities are options for caregivers who are managing serious Alzheimer’s symptoms.

      6. Nursing Home Care

        When people with Alzheimer’s need round-the-clock care, a nursing home may be the best way to make sure they’re safe.

      7. When It’s Time for Memory Care

        Making the decision to move a loved one with Alzheimer's to a memory care facility can represent a major lifestyle change.

      8. Low-Income Memory Care Options

        Social Security Disability Income offers compassionate allowances, which enable people with dementia to get benefits quickly.

      9. Hospital Stays for a Loved One

        Going into the hospital is stressful for anyone. When it’s your loved one with Alzheimer’s, it can be especially challenging.

      10. Caregiving When You're Far Away

        Caring for someone with Alzheimer's when you live across the country, or even just across a state line, adds challenges.
