Mission Statement
There are more than 1 million family members and friends caring for the nearly 400,000 New Yorkers living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Eddy Alzheimer's Services is primarily funded through the Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Initiative, a New York state grant funded effort which seeks to alleviate the financial and emotional burden placed on these caregivers. Together Eddy Alzheimer’s Services and its grant partner the Alzheimer’s Association of Northeastern New York, provide a wide range of free supportive services for caregivers across a 11-county region. All services are aimed at helping support the caregiver in their caregiving journey.
