The Alzheimer's Association, WNY Chapter, works with a number of agencies to provide information on caregiver and patient resources available across our eight-county service region, as well as on-line.
Below are links to a number of on-line sites that can help you find answers and specialized care.
Alzheimer's Association: Community Resource Finder
Community Resource Finder provides access to comprehensive listings of local Alzheimer's resources, community programs and services. This broad-based database makes it easy to quickly search, find and access the support you need.
Alzheimer's Association: Western New York Health & Human Services
2-1-1 WNY provides access to a wide variety of health and human services organizations across the Western New York region. If you need information that is not available via the Community Resource Finder (above), this site may have the information you need.
Alzheimer's Association: Alzheimer's Navigator
Alzheimer's Navigator is an innovative online tool that creates customized and comprehensive action plans, based on answers you provide to some short online surveys.
