Our primary focus at Dementia Alliance of North Carolina is to improve the lives of caregivers who, more often than not, had no other alternative and no prior experience when stepping into their role as caregiver. Caregiving for individuals with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, is a rapidly growing sector of our older population. In North Carolina alone, an estimated 479,000 dementia caregivers are providing more than 545,000,000 hours of unpaid care each year.
That’s why DA-NC provides CARE (Comfort, Assistance, Resources and Education) to caregivers, individuals, medical professionals and partners in North Carolina.
