The Alzheimer’s Association is a trusted source of care, knowledge, and hope for individuals and families facing Alzheimer’s disease and all other dementia.

For caregivers who feel weary or overwhelmed, for individuals receiving a new diagnosis, and for families searching for the next right step, the Alzheimer’s Association offers a steady hand and a caring presence. It is a place of comfort, expertise, hope, and connection for our community, an important reminder that support is available, and that each person and family are worthy of dignity, patience, and compassion.

Here in our local community, the Monterey Bay Office serves individuals and families throughout Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties with free programs and services designed to bring comfort, guidance, and practical support.

These services include educational workshops, family caregiver support groups, personalized care consultations, community presentations, early-stage engagement opportunities, and access to the Alzheimer’s Association’s free 24/7 Helpline at (800) 272-3900, staffed by trained specialists. alz.org/norcal
