in I Am Living With Younger Onset Alzheimer's
Hi all,
I am looking on behalf of a friend for resources/support groups/etc for people with early-onset dementia, and caring for someone with early-onset dementia. She is located in the NYC area so anywhere within a 1 hour radius there or any online resources would be amazing. Looking for things like support groups, education programs, or just any sort of resources regarding early-onset dementia outside of health websites that just define the condition. It's a rare condition so I'm hoping to get some help here. Thank you so much!!

    Welcome. There can be resources available, but you have to search for them. You might call the Helpline at 1-800-272-3900 and ask to speak with a Care Consultant, who can direct you to pertinent resources.
