ABOUT US

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 180,000 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.

Our Programs:

Dementia Navigation & Care Consultation: Our Dementia Navigators are trained to assess the specific needs of dementia caregivers and provide information, referrals and other forms of caregiver assistance. 

Dementia Caregiver Assistance Program: This program is designated to help families throughout the state receive a one time financial assistance grant during a time of need, allowing caregivers temporary relief (respite) or resources for their caregiving journey.

Support Groups: Our Caregiver Support Groups offer a supportive community where caregivers can openly express their emotions, find solutions to common caregiving challenges in dementia, and access expert advice. They are a lifeline for caregivers seeking understanding, knowledge, and emotional relief on their caregiving journey.

Dementia Education: We provide in-person and online education for families and professional caregivers. By attending these workshops, conferences, and support groups, caregivers experience reduced stress and improved quality of life.

Music & Memory at Home: This evidence-based program helps people living with dementia find renewed joy and connection through personalized musical favorites.
