Groups are facilitated by trained volunteers. Many locations offer specialized groups for children, those with early-onset and early-stage Alzheimer’s, adult caregivers and others with specific needs. Early Stage ProgramsMost people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease still want to, and in many ways, are able to do very normal, everyday things like attend community events, play sports or help others. Early stage programs create inclusive, specialized, meaningful activities and opportunities for them. Here at the St. Louis chapter, we are doing everything possible to make sure those who have been diagnosed early have a support system of their very own. Learn More About Early Stage Programs. Respite Assistance ProgramThe Alzheimer's Association St. Louis Chapter appreciates your role as a caregiver. We realize that without some time off, your mental and physical health becomes affected. This could reduce the quality of care for your loved one. We hope to ease the burden on families in need by helping with some of the costs incurred through caregiving.
