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 local families. Our mission is to provide services that help Alabama families care for their loved one at home; expand educational opportunities through, community talks, support groups, our weekly email offering current information, and phone consultation; advocate for better treatment and care for people living with dementia and for greater understanding of the unique role family caregivers play; and to promote research. ACA serves 21 counties across central Alabama. 100% of the money we raise stays in Alabama.
We provide services in Bibb, Blount, Calhoun, Cleburne, Chilton, Clay, Coosa, Etowah, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Lamar, Pickens, Randolph, Shelby, St. Clair, Talladega, Tallapoosa, Tuscaloosa, and Walker counties.
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. Alzheimer’s is a progressive illness and our services are designed to dovetail the disease as people move from needing supervision to custodial care to requiring nursing care. ACA’s services are intended to make home care more affordable for families with a limited income.
