State and Local Organizations

The CADCs leverage their expertise and actively provide specialized input, which organizations usually do not have, into the broader understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias through collaborations with state and local organizations.

These partnerships extend the help and assistance provided by the CADCs beyond their catchment area to individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, caregivers, health care providers and legislators.

Some of the state, county and city organizations the CADCs have partnered with include:

• Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA)
• Adult Day Care Centers
• California Caregiver Coalition
• Public Health Area Agencies on Aging
• Alzheimer’s Association for educational activities and developing community support groups (local chapters)
• Caregiver Resource Center
• Alzheimer’s Day Care Resource Centers
• Residential Care Facilities and Retirement Communities
• Care Management Services
• Home Care organizations
• Hospice organizations
• Senior Behavioral Health Services
• Kaiser Permanente Staff in developing their dementia clinic
• Nursing staff training at UCSF and Stanford/VA Palo Alto Health Care System
