Memory Care & Dementia · Rhode Island · Free

NIH research-based information on Alzheimer's, dementia, and brain health for older adults. Worth contacting at the first signs: getting lost in familiar places, missing bills, sudden withdrawal, or repeating questions. Online courses cover communication techniques, fall prevention, and how to handle hospitalization for a person with dementia. Wandering registries (some free, some local) flag missing-person alerts to first responders within minutes. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
