Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support: Resources from the Alzheimer’s Association

When someone you love is facing Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, knowing where to turn can make the next step feel more manageable. The Alzheimer’s Association connects individuals, families, and caregivers with education, support, and resources.

The Association’s Missouri Chapter serves communities across Missouri and Metro East Illinois. Its offerings include free support groups and education programs, along with opportunities to connect with others navigating similar experiences.

Families can explore information about caregiving, memory concerns, and community resources through the Association’s website. Its 24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900 provides another way to connect with support and ask about available resources.

The organization also offers ways for community members to get involved through volunteering, advocacy, fundraising, and the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

For Centralia-area residents seeking Alzheimer’s and dementia resources, the Association provides a starting point for finding information and identifying support options near them.

Visit the Alzheimer’s Association website or its Missouri Chapter page to explore programs, locate resources, and learn how to participate.
