The state of Wisconsin, the city of Milwaukee and a number of private nonprofit entities have an array of agencies that provide support to older adults living with cognitive issues. These organizations can help such Milwaukeeans make social connections, find financial assistance and address quality of care issues in long-term care facilities.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (800) 815-0015 | Representatives of this office respond to reports of quality-of-care complaints filed by residents of assisted living communities, including memory care facilities and nursing homes. In addition to investigating potential abuse or neglect, ombudsmen can help older adults choose facilities that most match their needs and point families to organizations that can provide financial assistance with paying for that care. |
| Alzheimer's & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin | (608) 232-3400 | The ADAW is a nonprofit group that offers emotional and social support to older adults in Wisconsin living with cognitive issues and their caregivers. Caregiver support includes therapy groups, connections to respite care and educational seminars regarding effective communication with adults undergoing behavioral changes. The ADAW's Memory Cafe program is aimed at providing a safe, stimulating social space for adults with dementia. |
| Medigap Helpline | 800-242-1060 | This helpline is open to Wisconsin residents age 65 and older. It assists such residents with health insurance information and provides assistance with Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplement Insurance and more.

| Dementia Care Specialist Program | 608-266-1865 | This program is under the direction of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Its charter focuses on providing information and support to adults with memory issues and their caregivers, developing communities in which seniors with cognitive issues can enjoy a strong quality of life and training medical staff in dementia issues. Webinars cover topics such as determining safety to drive, the psychological effects of living in social isolation and the importance of building support networks. |
