Alzheimer’s Foundation (LIAF) this month. LIAF recently announced that the organization’s headquarters is moving to a new state-of-the-art facility located at 1025 Old Country Road in Westbury. Since 1988, LIAF has provided its programs and services primarily at its headquarters in Port Washington, but that geographical location began to present challenges to LIAF in carrying out its mission. The layout and location of this new facility are impressive and will bring new opportunities for families across Long Island. We look forward to hearing about all the great work that LIAF will continue to bring to family caregivers and their loved ones coping with various forms of dementia.
