Who This Resource May Help
The Alzheimer’s Association Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter may be helpful for families caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. This listing may be especially useful when a caregiver needs education, emotional support, local support groups, care planning help, or someone to call when dementia-related questions feel too big to sort through alone.
Families may reach out after a new diagnosis, when symptoms are changing, when behaviors are becoming harder to manage, or when the caregiver needs help understanding what support exists in the Philadelphia region.
What Caregivers Should Know Before Calling
The Alzheimer’s Association Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter serves Philadelphia and surrounding counties in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The chapter was formerly part of the Delaware Valley Chapter structure; public information from the Alzheimer’s Association says the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter serves Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, and Philadelphia Counties.
The Philadelphia office is listed at 399 Market Street, Suite 250, Philadelphia, PA 19106. Visits are by appointment only, so families should call before going in person.
The Alzheimer’s Association offers a 24/7 Helpline, local support groups, education programs, ALZConnected online community options, and local resources for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Many programs and resources are free.
Services or Support Offered
Services and supports may include caregiver support groups, early-stage support groups, education programs, local resource connection, care consultations, safety information, online tools, ALZConnected online community support, and the 24/7 Helpline.
