About this resource

Our mission

Families facing dementia rarely have a single place to turn. Medical information lives in one place, caregiving advice in another, and Illinois services somewhere else entirely. This site brings those three together: what the condition is, what to do about it, and where in Illinois to get help.

Medical review

Every clinical page is reviewed by Amarish Dave, DO, Board Certified Neurologist, with expertise in cognitive disorders, memory loss, and geriatric neurology. Reviews cover accuracy, currency against published guidelines, and whether the language is clear to a reader with no medical training. Pages carry the month they were last reviewed. Content site-wide was last updated August 2026.

Dr. Dave sees patients in person and by televisit across Illinois. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 815-356-7494.

Editorial standards

• Plain language first: short sentences, no unexplained jargon, definitions on first use.
• No product promotion, no sponsored placements, and no paid inclusion in the resource directory.
• Treatment pages describe options and tradeoffs; they never recommend a specific therapy for a specific person.
• Every page states clearly when to contact a clinician and when to seek emergency care.

How resources are verified

Directory listings are checked against the organization's own published information — phone number, service area, eligibility, and cost — and each listing displays the month it was last verified. Listings are free. Organizations can submit a resource for review, and inclusion is never an endorsement of clinical quality.
