Join us in honoring millions of dementia caregivers by sharing a message of thanks, and find support and resources to help caregivers maintain their own well-being.

Honor Caregivers

Rhode Island Chapter

In Rhode Island, more than 22,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s. 36,000 caregivers dedicate 51 million hours of unpaid care. From Providence to Newport to Narragansett and every town in between, your local Rhode Island 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.

Connect with the Rhode Island Chapter.
