    Education and Resources

    Alzheimer's is a journey, not a destination. As someone living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, or as someone who is a caregiver, taking an active role to learn more about how your life may be impacted by these circumstances can help you navigate the steps of your personal journey.

    The Alzheimer’s Association Rochester Finger Lakes Region Chapter primarily offers in-person educational programs for individuals who live with dementia, their families and professional caregivers.

    Online education

    The Alzheimer’s Association offers education programs on demand so you can watch at a time that works for you. Learn more about the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease, diagnosis, communication, living with dementia, caregiving techniques throughout all stages of Alzheimer’s, planning for future care costs and more.

    For more information, call the free Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.
