Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers (ADRCs) offer local resources, support, and opportunities to participate in research on Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Researchers at these NIA-funded centers are developing and testing new ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent Alzheimer’s, and improve dementia care.
To help families affected by Alzheimer’s and related dementias, ADRCs can provide:
- Help with obtaining a diagnosis and managing your careÂ
- Information about the diseases, services, and resourcesÂ
- Opportunities for volunteers to participate in clinical trials and studies that contribute to improved understanding of dementia, which may lead to new treatments and better careÂ
- Support groups and other special programs for volunteers and their familiesÂ
