The Alzheimer’s Association: Alzheimer’s and Dementia
>>What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
The Alzheimer’s Association information is comprehensive, easy to understand, and provides a deep-dive into how these disorders are diagnosed, disease progression, treatment options, and research underway.
The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America
This nonprofit organization was founded as a resource to families affected by Alzheimer’s. In addition to information about Alzheimer’s diagnosis and management, the site provides links to caregiving resources — including a toll-free helpline staffed by licensed social workers to connect callers with resources in their area.
This site is managed by the Society for Neuroscience, and covers a wide variety of topics related to the brain and mind, including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
National Institute on Aging: Alzheimer’s Disease Fact Sheet
Much more than a fact sheet, this landing page provides a concise overview of Alzheimer’s, as well as information about how to participate in clinical trials of new treatments, and how to find support.
