24/7 Helpline 800.272.3900

our core servicesFounded in 1981, our local organization serves individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. We provide the following programs and services in our ten county region. Translation services can be requested for all programs and services.

24-Hour Helpline: The Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 helpline provides reliable information and support to people with memory loss, as well as caregivers, health care professionals, and the public. Our knowledgeable staff can help you understand dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and their treatment options; provide general information about aging; and teach skills in providing quality care and making legal/financial decisions. The Helpline offers a translation service that features more than 200 languages and dialects.

Care Consultations: Our professional staff is dedicated to helping you and your family navigate your journey with Alzheimer’s disease. During a care consultation, we can help assess your needs and discuss care planning, home safety and other concerns.

Community Education: Learn more about Alzheimer’s disease through our free community education courses in English and Spanish. These classes are designed to address topics including understanding the basics of dementia and effective communication. Private in-home sessions are also available upon request.

Information and Referral: Individuals and caregivers can look to us for informational literature as well as important referrals to a variety of community resources such as elder law attorneys, geriatric care managers, home care agencies, and senior living facilities.

Respite Services: Respite care provides caregivers a temporary break from caregiving, while the person with Alzheimer’s disease continues to receive care in a safe and supportive environment. Using respite services can support and strengthen your ability to be a caregiver.

Social Activities: A person with Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t have to give up the activities he or she loves. We offer several free opportunities each month to gather with others who have Alzheimer’s disease and their loved ones.

Support Groups: Alzheimer’s Association support groups offer caregivers or persons with Alzheimer’s disease the opportunity to meet with others at a regularly scheduled meeting in a safe, confidential environment. Trained volunteer facilitators are paired with professional staff to lead all groups.

Class Descriptions

Healthy Living for Your Brain and BodyJoin us to learn about research in the areas of diet and nutrition, exercise, cognitive activity and social engagement, and use hands-on tools to help you incorporate these recommendations into a plan for healthy aging. Audience: All

Know the 10 Signs: Early Detection MattersIf you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss or behavioral changes, it’s time to learn the facts. Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease gives you a chance to begin drug therapy, enroll in clinical studies and plan for the future. Audience: All


EDUCATION DESCRIPTIONSThe Basics: Understanding Alzheimer’s DiseaseAlzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging. If you or someone you know is affected by Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, it’s time to learn the facts. This program provides information on detection, causes and risk factors, stages of the disease, treatment, and much more. Audience: All

Dementia Conversations: Driving, Doctor Visits, Legal & Financial PlanningConversations with family members who are showing signs of dementia can be challenging and uncomfortable. The fear or lack of awareness that may accompany these conversations can result in delays that have serious consequences for the entire family. This workshop will offer tips on how to have honest and caring conversations with family members about going to the doctor, when to stop driving, and making legal and financial plans. Audience: Caregivers

Effective Communication StrategiesCommunication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease. Audience: Caregivers

Understanding and Responding to Dementia-Related BehaviorBehavior is a powerful form of communication and is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as the ability to use language is lost. However, some behaviors can present real challenges for caregivers to manage. Join us to learn to decode behavioral messages, identify common behavior triggers, and learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. Audience: Caregivers

EDUCACIÓN COMUNITARIA

• Hay una tasa mayor de hispanos/latinos que blancos no hispanos en los Estados Unidos que padecen del Alzheimer.

• Los hispanos/latinos enfrentan mayor riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad de Alzheimer y otros tipos de demencia porque están viviendo a una edad más prolongada (como toda la población de los Estados Unidos) pero a la vez tienen índices más altos de problemas cardiovasculares.

• Los factores de riesgo de la enfermedad vascular (mayormente la diabetes, la presión alta y el colesterol alto) también pueden ser factores de riesgo para el desarrollo del Alzheimer y la demencia causada por los derrames cerebrales.

• Los hispanos son el grupo étnico más creciente en los Estados Unidos. Durante la primera mitad del siglo 21 el número de ancianos hispanos que sufren del Alzheimer u otro tipo de demencia puede incrementarse hasta seis veces, de menos de 200.000 personas afectadas actualmente hasta 1,3 millones para el año 2050.

• Para el año 2050, la expectativa de vida de los latinos sobrepasará la de todos los otros grupos étnicos en los Estados Unidos, llegando a los 87 años de edad.

La investigación científica sobre el Alzheimer ya está dando resultados sobre el impacto de la enfermedad entre los hispanos/latinos. Según el informe Hechos y Estadísticas sobre la Enfermedad de Alzheimer 2010 de la Alzheimer’s Association, el riesgo de desarrollar el Alzheimer en los hispanos es 1,5 veces mayor que en los norteamericanos blancos no hispanos.
