We are here to help you
Alzheimer’s is a terrifying disease with devastating effects, but for someone who’s never witnessed it, it can be hard to imagine that such changes can happen to a loved one. As ADASA we pledge our allegiance to supporting and educating individuals, families, and communities about Dementia, especially Alzheimer’s Disease.
If you think someone you love may be showing signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s, or if you’re having trouble coping with a loved one already suffering, call our ADASA Helpline at 0860 102 681.
