Finding Care and Support: Tips for People Living With Dementia

Many people may be able to help in different ways. These people might include family members, friends, professional caregivers, community organizations, and others with dementia. For example, you can:

  • Ask friends or family to help with needs like cooking, paying bills, transportation, or shopping.
  • If you live alone, find people you trust who can visit often.
  • Consider letting trusted neighbors know of your diagnosis so they can help if needed.
  • Use social service agencies, local nonprofits, and Area Agencies on Aging to connect with in-home help, transportation, meals, and other services.
