  • Find out about local programs and services.
  • Get general information about legal, financial and care decisions, as well as treatment options for managing symptoms.
  • Receive help in their preferred language through our bilingual staff or translation service, which accommodates more than 200 languages.
  • Access support through our TTY service (TTY: 866.403.3073) if assistance is required via a teletype device.

The Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline is supported in part by grant number 90AC2811, from the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C. 20201.
