Dementia Alliance of North Carolina believes everyone impacted by dementia deserves the resources to have an optimal quality of life and hope until there is a world without Dementia. Recognizing the profound impact of dementia, including Alzheimer’s, on more than 210,500 people in North Carolina, we strive to build a state of caring that addresses the unique needs of our community.
Serving as the go-to resource for local support, information, and education on dementia-related diseases, including Alzheimer’s, we approach our mission with a local focus ensuring that 100 percent of donated funds remain within the state, directly benefiting those we serve. Our experienced team, deeply committed to supporting individuals and families facing dementia-related challenges, works tirelessly to build a state of caring, one caregiver, one individual, and one interaction at a time. By fostering partnerships with organizations, educators, researchers, and communities, we aim to create a powerful alliance dedicated to serving everyone impacted by dementia and building a compassionate state in North Carolina. Together, we believe that by joining forces, we can uplift each other and work towards a world without dementia.
