Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s

The following is from Beth Kallmyer, Vice President, Constituent Services Alzheimer’s Association

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease can be lonely and overwhelming. To help, the Alzheimer’s Association created ALZConnected, the first dedicated online social networking community where people with Alzheimer’s, their caregivers and others affected by the disease can share answers, opinions, ideas and support.

ALZConnected launched last year thanks to the generosity of our donors. This free site, designed especially for the Alzheimer’s community, offers a safe place for people to connect with others in similar situations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year through:

Message boards where members can pose questions and offer advice to one another.

Community solutions that include both public and private groups focused on topics of shared experience.

Personal inboxes that let members communicate one-on-one by sending secure, private messages.

If you or someone you know is impacted by the disease, I encourage you to explore ALZConnected. This extremely helpful resource is offered exclusively by the Alzheimer’s Association.
