IF YOU’RE
CARING FOR A
FAMILY MEMBER
WITH MEMORY LOSS,
WHO’S CARING
FOR YOU?
THE ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
AND RELATED DEMENTIAS
FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM.
Caring for a family member who has trouble with thinking
and memory can be extremely challenging. So challenging,
in fact, that caregivers may feel overwhelmed, struggling
to maintain their own health and well-being.
NYU Langone’s Family Support Program provides
convenient, personalized, and ongoing support to people
caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or other thinking and
memory disorders.
The program is provided free of charge to individuals
living within the five boroughs. You will receive access to
counseling; connections to doctors and support groups;
and compassionate guidance by being paired with a
caregiver who has had a similar experience.
Join a community dedicated to providing the support and
guidance you need, for as long as you need it.
For more information or to enroll, call us at 646-754-2277
or visit nyulangone.org/memorydisordersupport.
The Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Family Support Program
is supported by a grant from the New York State Department of Health.
