Dementia Friendly America

Memory Care & Dementia · Alaska · Free

Helps communities become dementia-friendly. Find local chapters. Worth contacting at the first signs: getting lost in familiar places, missing bills, sudden withdrawal, or repeating questions. Free 24/7 helpline staffed by master's-level clinicians who can talk through specific behaviors and what to try next. Power of attorney and advance directives are far easier to set up in the early stages — once capacity is gone, the only option is guardianship. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
