Alzheimer Suisse has created a new online platform, bringing together information about the support services available throughout Switzerland, for the first time on one single site. It lists specialist contacts in the fields of medicine, care and therapy, as well as leisure activities such as dance performances, art exhibitions and guided walks. Using this new platform, www.alzguide.ch, people affected by dementia, their families, and the professionals who advise and support them, will be able to find useful information about services tailored to their needs.
To use the platform, visitors need to enter their postcode and the type of service they are looking for and, within a few clicks, they can find suitable services in their local area. The creation of alzguide.ch was made possible by a generous donor, who herself suffers from a form of dementia, and the support of various foundations. The online platform is constantly being expanded. Individuals and institutions whose offers are not yet listed on alzguide.ch can enter and manage them themselves under www.alzguide.ch/sign-up-info, after verification and confirmation by Alzheimer Switzerland.
