ADRC is a Long Island nonprofit providing resources and support for those impacted by cognitive decline. We partner with families to provide care consultations, support groups, life-enrichment activities, and education.
By offering life-enrichment activities, ADRC helps those with cognitive decline express themselves and their creativity. Programs offered include Art, Music, Equine, Memory Cafes, Museum Programs, and much more. Participants and caregivers enjoy activities together, creating new memories.
Whether it’s our East Islip location or out in the community, ADRC makes it easy to access helpful resources. Information, advice and referrals are provided free of charge. Our network links you to healthcare and legal professionals who offer specialized assistance and who have been vetted by our organization.
