    Illinois Chapter

    In Illinois, an estimated one in eight seniors age 65 and older is living with Alzheimer's. More than 840,000 caregivers dedicate 1.3 billion hours of unpaid care. From Chicago to Peoria to Southern Illinois and every town in between, your local chapter of the Alzheimer's Association is here to help. 

    Whether it’s offering support to anyone facing Alzheimer’s, advocating for the needs and rights of those facing dementia, or advancing critical research, we work toward methods of treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.
