NARFE September 2025

Walk to End Alzheimer's® is underway across the country, and there's still time to be part of something powerful. Join the national NARFE Walk team and stand alongside fellow chapter members in a meaningful event that highlights our shared commitment to fighting Alzheimer's disease.

By participating, you'll bring help and hope to the more than 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's and support the nearly 12 million caregivers who walk this journey with them every day.

Thank you to all NARFE members who share our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. We invite you to register today and walk with us toward a brighter future.

Mediterranean diet may reduce genetic risk of Alzheimer's
Results of a large new study show that a Mediterranean-style diet emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains and extra virgin olive oil may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found that study participants who followed a Mediterranean-style diet had a lower risk of developing dementia, especially those in the high genetic risk group for Alzheimer's.

Facing Alzheimer's may cause family tension
Alzheimer's can bring out many strong emotions in the person living with the disease as well as caregivers. As the disease progresses, caregiving issues may magnify family conflicts. We have tips to help families cope. Learn more.
 


Resources may be available to help pay for Alzheimer's care
Many families make great financial sacrifices to help care for a family member living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. Resources may be available to help cover these costs both now and in the future. Learn more.
 


Be prepared with our dementia safety tips for caregivers
Safety is important for everyone, but the need for a comprehensive safety plan becomes vital as dementia progresses. Taking measures to improve safety can prevent injuries and help the person living with Alzheimer's or another dementia feel more relaxed, less overwhelmed and maintain their independence longer.
