The Alzheimer’s Project provides local support to people living with memory disorders and their caregivers. Our counselors can make suggestions to caregivers to help them deal with this situation. If you are a caregiver, please contact us at (850) 386-2778. If you know a caregiver who needs help, please tell them about the Alzheimer’s Project.

Navigating healthcare resources for yourself or a loved one can be challenging, however, it doesn’t have to be. Join us for a webinar all about resources for persons needing more assistance including persons living with dementia and caregivers. We will cover topics such as where to find caregiver support, how to receive a diagnostic examination for your loved one, home healthcare, Medicaid, Medicare, transportation and more!

This webinar will be hosted by Vicky Rose, MSW, CDP from Capital Home health Corp. and Summer Henderson, MSW, CDP from Alzheimer’s Project.

Awareness is key in making sure families know we are here to support them. Not only are you supporting our mission but you're also getting our name in front of those who may need us. Thank you wearing your shirts!
