Welcome to Alzheimer’s Family of Friends Foundation

At Alzheimer’s Family of Friends Foundation, our mission is simple yet deeply impactful: to provide financial assistance to families caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. We understand the emotional weight of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis—the heartbreak it brings, the uncertainty, and the overwhelming responsibility of providing the best possible care.

Our logo symbolizes this shared journey: the broken heart we all carry when a loved one is diagnosed, and the ribbon and yellow heart that represent the strength of a community—the Family of Friends—standing together.

We take action with urgency, working to relieve the pressing financial challenges that families encounter every day. While they navigate the complexities of treatment and the emotional impact of this disease, we aim to lift the weight of financial strain. When you join our Family of Friends, you help make it possible for families to focus on what matters most—being there for their loved ones.

Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are stronger.

Why Now

Families caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s are facing unprecedented challenges. Whether providing care at home or seeking support through a professional facility, the costs continue to rise. Many families are forced to deplete their life savings, mortgage their homes, and work multiple jobs just to keep up with the growing expenses of long-term care.

Unfortunately, most health insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, do not cover all aspects of homecare or skilled nursing services. The financial gap leaves families in distress, often making impossible choices between their financial future and their loved one’s quality of life.

Consider the numbers:

The average cost of home care is $21 per hour. At 40 hours per week, that adds up to $3,360 per month, or $40,320 annually.
A skilled nursing facility can cost approximately $110,000 per year. Depending on where you live, these expenses may be even higher.

These staggering costs are more than most families can bear on their own. That’s why we are here.

At Alzheimer’s Family of Friends Foundation, our goal is simple: to provide financial assistance to as many families as possible—families who don’t have the resources to cover these life-altering expenses. By offering support, we help families focus on what matters most: caring for their loved ones with dignity, compassion, and peace of mind.
