ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION HELPLINE CONTACT INFORMATION- Alzheimer's Association helpline: 1-800-272-3900
Submitted by Marilyn Dyson
I would tell anyone to call the Alzheimer's Association helpline: 1-800-272-3900. Please remember it's 24/7. For local resources hours are 9-5 weekdays, they can call and find out about PCA, day care locations, senior centers and long term care. Plus they can get tips on how to manage specific situations. They can get emotional support anytime. also, they can find out about other support groups that are especially for Alzheimer's and deliberately structured to help with their situations. There are three - four nearby. People are encouraged to support group hop. It's like going to AA; you can never go enough.
The support groups are also on the website: www.alz.org/desjsepa. However, it's still mandatory to call the helpline
1-800-272-3900 to get the latest information on meeting changes and updates. If the person questions the helpline information, she/he can always call back during another shift (different day morning or afternoon) and talk to someone else.

The Mesothelioma Group
which just published a very informative guide to understanding cancer (http://www.mesotheliomagroup.com/understanding-cancer/), and the American Childhood Cancer Society, which helps children battle and overcome cancer (http://acco.org). They're both great organizations dedicated to cancer research and awareness. The Mesothelioma Group also donates to local charities and provides scholarships to victims and their families. ______________________________________________ Dave the Caregivers Caregiver and
