Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline - 1.800.272.3900

The Alzheimer’s Association Helpline is available 24/7 and provides dependable information and emotional support to those who need assistance – individuals with memory loss, caregivers, healthcare professionals and the general public.

Additionally, the Helpline can provide tips on care-giving and offer referrals to local community events and support programs.

Support Groups

Alzheimer’s Disease Support Groups are facilitated by trained professionals or former family caregivers. These groups present family members the opportunity to ask questions, express concerns and share their personal experiences. They offer understanding and provide emotional support and encouragement from people in similar situations.
