Dementia Care Central

Dementia Care Central is an informational resource focused on Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It organizes practical guidance for people seeking to understand dementia, support someone living with it, or plan for care. Its educational content covers dementia types, symptoms, stages, causes, diagnosis, testing, medications, therapies, and life expectancy.

Caregiving resources address everyday challenges such as communication, bathing, eating, mobility, medication management, sleep, safety, and changes in behavior. The site also explains care options, including in-home care, adult day programs, assisted living and memory care, and nursing homes, with guidance on choosing services and understanding costs. Financial and planning topics include Medicaid, Medicare, veterans’ benefits, caregiver payment, legal matters, and assistance with care expenses.

Visitors can explore assessment tools, caregiving videos, technology topics, clinical trials, and state and local resources. Dementia Care Central presents its material through an extensive, easy-to-browse collection of guides, intended to help families and caregivers make more informed decisions throughout the dementia care journey
