    Direct Referral Program

    Direct Referral Program

    A diagnosis of Alzheimer's or another dementia is life-changing. The Alzheimer's Association Direct Referral Program offers a variety of resources to help your patients and their families live their best lives. Caregivers referred to the program will receive a care consultation and individualized care planning. Our clinical team will provide a summary report back to you.

    Benefits of the Direct Referral Program

    Connect caregivers with a Dementia Care Consultant to:

    Help caregivers better understand a dementia diagnosis
    • Make a plan for the future
    • Identify available resources
    • Develop strategies for navigating care decisions and challenges
    All of our Dementia Care Consultants have experience working with people living with dementia and their caregivers. They have all been trained by the Alzheimer’s Association to provide a high level of support and education to the caregivers they work with.

    We are excited to be able to offer Spanish and Haitian Creole language care consultations by our bilingual Dementia Care consultants. We are also able to provide a high level of support for other non-English speaking caregivers through the use of our language line that offers translation in over 200 languages.
