NARFE March
During the current COVID-19 crisis, the Alzheimer's Association remains dedicated to serving those impacted by Alzheimer's and other dementias. We recognize how stressful this time can be, and we want to ensure that you know that we're available 24 hours a day for those affected by Alzheimer's through our Helpline (800.272.3900). If you are caring for someone living with Alzheimer's, we've developed tips for dementia caregiving at home and in assisted living. In addition, if you're a caregiver, we have recommendations to help keep yourself healthy. For further resources, visit alz.org/NARFE.
