Locate licensed facilities in your area
There may come a time when the person with Alzheimer's disease will need more care than can be provided at home. The individual may need to move into residential care, such as assisted living or a nursing home.

Use the Alzheimer’s Association Senior Housing FinderSM, powered by SNAPforSeniors®, to search a current list of licensed assisted living residences, nursing homes and other types of senior housing. You can also customize your search by geographic criteria, name of residence, housing type, availability status, license type and care services, including the level of dementia care offered.

Coordinate help from family and friends
Create a private online group calendar to keep track of friends, family members and neighbors who offer help with care giving tasks.
