Vision: Dementia is more common among African American and Hispanic
elders as compared with Caucasian Americans elders. Hispanic
dementia is more common than most people think. 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, treatment and management resources
for dementia care. The primary vision of Ethnic Elders Care is to
increase senior
health and public awareness of about dementia among ethnic elders
and optimize the quality of life of family caregivers and ethnic elders
with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Our goal is to
improve access to culturally sensitive and effective care for ethnic
elders with Alzheimer’s and related disorders by promoting awareness
and education among caregivers and health professionals We want to
be an alzheimers
resource and increase public awareness among health care providers
and the general public about Alzheimer’s 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.
