Overview

Mission

To improve the lives of persons affected by alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Since 1985 the alzheimer's & dementia alliance of Wisconsin has been a local resource for individuals and families impacted by memory loss and dementia. We offer individual and family consultations; conduct caregiver support groups; provide education programs; and offer support and enrichment programs for persons in the early stages of their disease. Our professional staff serve 10 counties in south central and southwestern Wisconsin.

What it reported doing in 2022

Individual, family, and caregiver support program. Provide resources, education, and support to persons with memory loss or dementia and their family members or caregivers. In the past year nearly 3000 people were assisted by this program, including 1) approximately 1000 persons served by education programs, from "the abc's of alzheimer's and dementia" to "crossing bridges," our program for people just diagnosed with memory impairment and their caregivers; 2) 1000 families served through phone, email, and in-person care consultations and information and referral contacts; and 3) 850 caregivers and persons with dementia who attended support group and cognitive enhancement meetings. The agency maintained 3-6 outreach specialists serving rural communities in south central and southwestern Wisconsin. Caregiver support grants. The goal of the alzheimer family and caregiver support program (afcsp) is to enable clients and, when appropriate, clients' families to gain access to funds and receive a full range of appropriate services in a planned, coordinated, efficient, and effective manner. Services include assessment, consultation, care planning, monitoring and review, advocacy, and referral. A waiting list is maintained for new applicants when necessary; these families are referred to other services and resources in the interim. Almost 900 people have received afcsp funds through the alliance since 2006.
