About this directory

I'm Ryan Herd. I want you to know that I have some idea of what this feels like. When my father was diagnosed with cancer, our family had to find our way through something we weren't ready for. We also worried together about my grandmother, who was 99 and still wanted to live on her own. If you're here because someone you love needs help, that's why I care about this work.

I served on the Pequannock Township, New Jersey council for 8 years, and I was mayor twice. In that job I knew who to call at the township, at the county, at the state, and even at the federal level. Even with those contacts, it was still hard to find real help for residents who needed it. If it was hard for me, and I already knew the people, how is an average family supposed to find it? That question is why I created the Alzheimer's Disease Directory.

I wanted one calm place where you could start with your zip code and get pointed to the right person and the right information near you. That isn't always a doctor. You might need your town's senior services, your county aging office, a state program that helps with the cost of care, or a local provider who is good at this work and not always easy to find. This directory is also for those providers, the ones who treat families with kindness and aren't always good at getting themselves found.

This directory is free for families, and it always will be. That's possible because of the local businesses and sponsors who support it, and we're grateful to them. When you see a card marked Sponsored, that's one of the people helping keep this free for you.

Where should I start?
