Vision: Dementia is more common among African American and Hispanic
elders as compared with Caucasian Americans elders. Hispanic
health is too neglected. Most of the care of ethnic elders with
dementia is conducted by family and informal caregivers. But due to
a variety of psychosocial and cultural factors, ethnic elders are
less likely than Caucasian elders to have access to formal comprehensive
diagnostic, alzheimers
treatment and management resources for dementia care. The primary
vision of Ethnic Elders Care is to increase public awareness of about
dementia among ethnic elders and optimize the quality of life of family
caregivers and ethnic elders with Alzheimers disease and related
disorders. Our goal is to improve access to culturally sensitive and
effective care for ethnic elders with Alzheimers and related
disorders by promoting awareness and education among caregivers and
health professionals We want to increase public awareness among health
care providers and the general public about Alzheimers disease
and related disorders among ethnic elders in the United States and
position the Ethnic Elders Care as the leading clearinghouse for dementia,
ethnicity and caregiving. See our information on alzheimers
