                                                              officially incorporated in February 1981. Now,

                                                              of steadfast commitment  to  the aging

                                                              community of greater Los Angeles and  we
                                                              are grateful for the continued support and

                                                              partnership of so many.



        Throughout our long history we have not wavered from our mission to provide the critically
        needed education, support, and advocacy for which families facing Alzheimer’s have

        come to rely on us. In this difficult time of COVID-19, we have redoubled our commitment
        to providing the care families so desperately need.



        Today, we are leaders in innovative programming for people living with Alzheimer’s or

        another dementia. We have earned the trust of families, of diverse communities, and of
        the professionals who serve them through our steadfast dedication to providing services

        and programs that truly improve peoples’ quality of life.


        With 40 years of serving the community, Alzheimer’s Los Angeles is locally focused and

        nationally and internationally recognized for providing high-impact support, resources,
        and education to people and families facing the disease.



        We now turn our vision to the future and commit to building on our legacy to ensure

        that anyone in need of help gets it. We will work to educate the richly diverse region of
        greater Los Angeles about what dementia is and isn’t, and fight to eliminate the stigma

        that perpetuates misunderstanding and creates unnecessary barriers to accessing the

        support we’re here to provide.


        Until there’s a cure, we’ll provide the care.
