2010 and beyond
Though our ultimate goal would be to see an end to Alzheimer’s & dementia, the reality is that the need for services continues to grow.
Our long-term goals include the creation of a Dementia Care Campus, which addresses all the needs of families facing the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease & dementia. This includes residential care, day care services, educational services, and family support services.
