Our Story

Alzheimer’s Family of Friends Foundation was born from personal experience and a deep understanding of the challenges families face after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Our Founder and CEO has lived through this journey—having lost his mother to Parkinson’s and his in-laws to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. When his wife was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he made a powerful commitment: to help other families carry the financial burden, so they can focus on what truly matters—caring for their loved ones.

Our mission is simple but vital: to provide financial relief to families affected by Alzheimer’s. We also recognize that families facing Parkinson’s, Dementia, and other cognitive challenges share similar struggles. That’s why, when possible, we extend our support to them as well—offering assistance through donations, grants, and community partnerships.

We are fortunate to be surrounded by a dedicated team of volunteers and staff from all walks of life. Their compassion, expertise, and unwavering commitment fuel our efforts and help us reach more families every year.

At Alzheimer’s Family of Friends Foundation, success isn’t just measured by numbers, but by the stories of hope and gratitude we receive from the families we serve.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide financial support to families struggling to afford dignified care for their loved ones living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Families already carry the emotional weight of this devastating diagnosis. Our goal is to ease their burden by helping to eliminate the overwhelming financial strain that the cost of homecare and skilled nursing care can place on a family or individual.

By offering this critical support, we empower families to focus on what matters most—being present for their loved ones, with peace of mind and compassion.

Our Vision

Commitment. Transparency. Compassion. These core values are at the heart of everything we do at Alzheimer’s Family of Friends Foundation.

We are dedicated to carrying out our mission with compassion and integrity, working transparently with our Family of Friends partners and supporters. By building trust and fostering meaningful connections, we invite others to join our cause and extend our reach.

We also challenge ourselves to think creatively and act boldly, embracing innovative and compassionate approaches to support the families we serve. This vision drives our continued success today and shapes our future as we work toward a world where no family faces the financial burden of Alzheimer’s alone.
