BrightFocus Foundation

Memory Care & Dementia · New York · Free

Funds research into Alzheimer's, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Free resources for families. A starting point for families considering memory care placement or arranging dementia-trained in-home help. Local chapters run free support groups — caregivers, early-stage patients, and adult children meet separately. PACE programs and Medicaid HCBS waivers often cover dementia care at home — many families never apply because no one tells them. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
