There is an Alzheimer's Association chapter in Pinellas Park that would give you a starting point. Also - USF has the Johnny Byrd Alzheimer's research foundation.

According to Karen Karle of Dementia Caregiver Resources Inc,
There are 4 major Alzheimer's medications that are currently available. Patient assistance programs may help pay for medications.
Aricept, by Pfizer & Eisai Inc, 800-226-2072
Exelon, by Novartis, 800-277-2254
Razadyne (formerly Reminyl) by Ortho-McNeil Neurologics, 800-526-7736
Memantine by Forest, 800-851-0758
Patient assistance programs include:
NEEDYMEDS.COM
PPARX.ORG (Partnership for Prescription Assistance)
The National Council on the Aging (202) 479-1200.
The Johnny Byrd Institute in Tampa is an excellent resource. Their site is http://www.byrdinstitute.com.
I hope this information is helpful to you.
