About Us

Alzheimer's Arkansas Programs and Services was first incorporated in 1984 as the "Alzheimer's Support Group of Central Arkansas", with the purpose of providing information and support to persons with dementia and their caregivers. Later, the group of volunteer leaders joined the national Alzheimer's Association.

In 2002, the Association's restructuring of chapters would have required us to move our headquarters to Oklahoma. Rather than allow our leadership and our funds to go out of state, our Board of Directors elected to disaffiliate from the national Association to become Alzheimer's Arkansas Programs and Services.

The important thing to know is that Alzheimer's Arkansas is now an independent non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Arkansas families affected by any kind of dementia. The funds that we raise are used solely for services to Arkansas families. Our volunteer Board of Directors is composed of local community members or services are free and our funds are spent ONLY in Arkansas.

Our mission is to provide the information and support needed so that all Arkansans affected by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias are able to live with dignity and comfort until a cure is found.

Our programs and services include:

Toll-free 24-hour telephone support for caregivers
Family support groups
Early stage patient support groups
Family education sessions
In-service training for professional caregivers
Community awareness presentations
A monthly newsletter for our members
Public policy advocates
Financial assistance for caregivers
A lending library of printed and video materials
