Alzheimer’s Information: Alzheimer’s Disease Education & Referral Center

As a public, U.S. Government-funded resource, the ADEAR Center strives to be a current, comprehensive, unbiased source of information about Alzheimer’s disease. All information and materials about the search for causes, treatment, cures, and better diagnostic tools are carefully researched and thoroughly reviewed by NIA scientists and health communicators for accuracy and integrity.

The ADEAR Center has a staff of Information Specialists available to assist with:

  • Answers to specific questions about AD
  • Free publications about AD symptoms, diagnosis, related disorders, risk factors, treatment, caregiving tips, home safety tips, and research
  • Referrals to local supportive services and AD Centers that specialize in research and diagnosis
  • Spanish language resources
  • Clinical trials information
  • Training materials, guidelines, and news updates

The caregiving tips are especially helpful to anyone who is involved in providing care for someone who has Alzheimer’s disease, and this section can be accessed directly at http://www.nia.nih.gov/alzheimers/topics/caregiving

Caregiving topics include:

  • Behaviors such as agitation and aggression, personality and behavior changes, rummaging and sun downing
  • Everyday care including bathing, daily activities, grooming & dressing, eating and incontinence
  • Communication
  • Relationships, addressing topics such as changes in intimacy & sexuality, helping family and friends understand Alzheimer’s disease, and holiday hints
