Memory Care & Dementia · Connecticut · Free

NIH research-based information on Alzheimer's, dementia, and brain health for older adults. Useful for spouses and adult children who've watched memory or judgment decline over months and don't know the next step. Local chapters run free support groups — caregivers, early-stage patients, and adult children meet separately. Early diagnosis opens access to medication, clinical trials, and long-term planning windows that close as the disease progresses. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
