Alzheimer’s Los Angeles (LA) is the leading community-based health organization providing programs that address the needs of the estimated 190,300 people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias as well as the needs of their families in Los Angeles County. Founded by family caregivers in 1980 and incorporated as a non-profit in 1981, the organization’s mission is to improve the lives of families affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias by increasing awareness;

delivering effective programs and services; providing compassionate support; and advocating for quality care and a cure. For nearly 45 years, Alzheimer’s LA has focused on overcoming barriers to care encountered by low‑income and ethnically diverse caregiving families and improving quality of healthcare delivered to people living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. The organization’s goals are to provide disease education and supportive services to people coping with dementia and to their families;

increase awareness and fight stigma associated with dementia; advocate for better public policies and services; and build dementia‑capable communities and systems of care. Alzheimer’s LA currently serves the County of Los Angeles from a central office in the Crenshaw District, a predominantly Latino and Black/African American area of the County.

Under the leadership of a 24‑member Board of Directors, a culturally diverse staff of 50 provides the following services: care counseling and assistance from trained social workers who help clients through crisis intervention, disease education, care planning, and connection with services; multilingual training workshops for family caregivers and education programs for the community;
Helpline, a multilingual phone line providing information and referrals; support groups conducted in five languages, including the Memory Club® for people living with early‑stage memory loss from Alzheimer’s or another dementia; activity programs for people living with early or middle‑stage dementia; the Caregiver Emergency Fund, which provides short‑term assistance to families with urgent needs; professional training programs; online awareness efforts;

and the website, with vast educational content. Many programs are offered both in‑person and online. The impact of its programs has been recognized through more than a dozen national awards. Last year, Alzheimer’s Los Angeles served over 20,000 people living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, family/friend caregivers, and professional health care providers through a range of in‑person, online, and phone‑based programs.

Over 132,000 people were reached through the website and social media.
