Supporting people living with dementia and the families caring for them through education and caregiver services.
Who We Are:
Founded in 1991, Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama is a local organization helping Alabama families. Our mission is to provide services that help Alabama families care for their loved one at home. ACA works to expand educational opportunities through community talks, support groups, our weekly email on dementia news and happenings and phone consultation. ACA advocates for greater understanding of the unique role family caregivers play and offers services and products that make home care viable.
ACA supports research and funds the work of new investigators at UAB. Originally chartered to serve 21 counties across central Alabama, ACA now serves the entire state. 100% of the money we raise stays in Alabama.
Looking for Help
We’re here to help families through these challenging times.
What we do:
Through targeted fundraising efforts, ACA is able to offers services and educational opportunities for families providing care for a loved one with dementia.

ACA’s services are intended to make home care more affordable for families with a limited income.
