SYRACUSE â People may be at a lost when Alzheimerâs disease first hits home, but there are places one can turn to for support.
âWith a disease that there currently isnât a treatment or cure, being equipped with education is a key resource,â said Katrina E. VanFleet, chief programs officer for the Alzheimerâs Association, Central New York chapter.
The chapter covers 14 counties, including those in the north country.
âWe would encourage people to reach out to us,â Mrs. VanFleet said.
The organization could be especially beneficial after an early diagnosis.
âWe offer a free service, called Care Consultation, where we can sit down with a caregiver and/or the person living with the disease and talk about their current journey with the disease, the next step, resources and education,â Mrs. VanFleet said.
SYRACUSE - As the American population ages, the Alzheimer’s Association is committed to identifying and addressing barriers that may prohibit older Americans from receiving important Alzheimer’s disease education and resources.
