Every class attended.
Every phone call answered.
Every caregiver supported.
Every family reminded that they are not alone.

Together, those moments create something much bigger than any single program—they build a stronger, more compassionate community.

As August comes to a close, we'd like to thank every volunteer, donor, partner, caregiver, participant, and advocate who helps make our mission possible.

Because of you, local families continue to find education, connection, hope, and support when they need it most.

Thank you for standing with Alzheimer's Los Angeles.

We're honored to be part of your journey. 💜

Changes in routine, unfamiliar environments, or even too much noise can increase anxiety for someone living with Alzheimer's or another dementia.

Small adjustments can often help create a greater sense of comfort.

Here are a few ideas to try:

🌿 Keep a consistent daily routine.
🎵 Play calming music.
🧸 Offer reassurance instead of correction.
🚶 Suggest a short walk or another familiar activity.

Responding with patience and understanding can help create moments of calm, even during difficult days.

No two Alzheimer's journeys look exactly alike—but many begin with a single question: "Is this normal?"

For many families, that first question leads to a conversation with Alzheimer's Los Angeles.

From there, we help connect people with education, support groups, community programs, and compassionate guidance every step of the way.

Your path might look something like this:

💜 Questions
➡️ Helpline
➡️ Education
➡️ Support
➡️ Community
➡️ Hope

Whatever stage you're in, you don't have to walk it alone.

Receiving an Alzheimer's or dementia diagnosis can feel overwhelming—not only for the person diagnosed, but for everyone who loves them.

Many families tell us they felt isolated until they attended their first Alzheimer's Los Angeles class or support group.

There, they found something they didn't realize they were missing:

💜 People who understood.
💜A place where questions are welcomed.
💜Where experiences are shared.
💜Where caregivers realize they don't have to figure everything out alone.

Whether you're looking for education, encouragement, or simply someone who understands what you're going through, we're here to help.

You don't have to navigate this journey by yourself.

📞 Call 844.HELP.ALZ (844.435.7259) or visit AlzheimersLA.org to learn more.

When someone living with Alzheimer's or another dementia suddenly begins acting differently, it's natural to wonder, "Why are they doing this?"

A helpful question might be: "What are they trying to tell me?"

Many behaviors are a form of communication. Before reacting, consider what may be contributing to the change:

🩺 Could they be in pain or feeling unwell?
🏡 Has something changed in their environment?
📝 Is the task becoming too difficult?
💬 Are they having trouble understanding what's being said?

By taking a moment to identify possible causes, caregivers can often reduce frustration and respond with greater patience and understanding.

Remember: behaviors aren't always intentional—they're often a sign that someone needs support in a different way.

Looking for more practical caregiving strategies? Alzheimer's Los Angeles offers free classes, support groups, and caregiver resources to help.
