ALZConnected™, powered by the Alzheimer’s Association, is a new online social networking community designed specifically for people with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers. Members can connect and communicate with people who understand their unique challenges. They can pose questions and offer solutions to dementia related issues, create public and private groups organized around a dedicated topic and contribute to message boards.
We asked three current members to share with us how ALZConnected has made a difference in their lives. Two are caring for a family member or friend living with Alzheimer’s disease, and one has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. Here are some highlights from our conversations. These touching stories are an example of how programs like ALZConnected can help those who need it most.
We hope these stories will inspire you to join the community, forward this email to a loved one, or to make a donation that will help the Alzheimer’s Association continue to offer these kinds of services that provide help and hope to all affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
