I'm looking for folks with younger onset early stage Alzheimer's in my south NJ Ocean County area who might be interested in attending a support group run by the Alzheimer's Association Greater NJ Chapter. We have a location in Bayville NJ we'll use. We're looking for facilitators now but we're also looking for attendees once we're up and running.
Contact me if you're interested.

I see people talking about stages of alzheimer's, but cannot get a clear answer..I have googled stages of alzheimer's but it is not terribly clear..thanks
In responding to the person who says her Mother, who is 88 is in Early Onset doesn't sound right to me. Early Onset as I understand it is when a person in their 50s or 60s is diagnosed with… read more
