Memory center patient & family resources

The Advocate Memory Center is committed to connecting all those affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias with the support, resources and education they need.

• Advocate community-based programs: Advocate Health Care services – such as home care, adult day services, and home-delivered meals – that support individuals who are living in their own home setting. These services can help individuals to maximize their functioning and remain independent as long as possible.
• Support groups: Regularly scheduled meetings at which family and friends caring for a person with dementia can give and receive emotional support, resources, and information. Meetings are facilitated by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker affiliated with the Advocate Memory Center.
• Community service definitions: Glossary descriptions of services that may be needed by individuals with dementia or their care partners. This page also includes links to other websites for additional information.
• Online resources: Links to websites that provide additional information about Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and caregiving.
• Community lectures: Experts discuss ways to promote well-being for both care receivers and caregivers.
