Memory Care & Dementia · Iowa · Free

NIH research-based information on Alzheimer's, dementia, and brain health for older adults. Relevant for caregivers needing dementia-specific behavior strategies — wandering, sundowning, aggression, refusal of care. Most groups meet weekly or biweekly, in-person or on Zoom; new attendees are welcome without RSVP. Wandering registries (some free, some local) flag missing-person alerts to first responders within minutes. Free, confidential, and available to any Iowa resident who needs the information.
