Since 1983, Dementia Support Northwest (formerly the Alzheimer Society of Washington) has served Whatcom County.  We are an organization of volunteers, family and friends of persons affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementia-related illnesses. Our mission is to educate people about dementia-related diseases.

Each year we provide hundreds of hours of education and support in Whatcom County as follows: Care Partner Support Groups for adults caring for those affected by dementia, including a unique group that also supports the caregiver and the person with memory loss; Staying Connected Memory Support Groups for adults newly diagnosed or experiencing minimal memory loss; Adult Children Support Groups for those adults caring for a parent affected by dementia; and the Find Me Safe Network (a partnering with the Whatcom County Sheriff) providing electronic technology to locate those who wander.
