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.
