WELCOME TO ALZHEIMERS CARIBBEAN

Alzheimer's Disease is a growing concern in the islands of the Caribbean. Almost all countries in the Caribbean have experienced a rapid transition from a rather young population to an increasingly older population over the past decade. As the population of these beautiful islands age, there has been an increase in the occurence of Alzheimer's disease which affects persons mainly after the age of 65. The challenge for families and friends, communities and governments whether it is in Barbados,Trinidad and Tobago,Jamaica, Guyana or the other islands is how to respond and cope with the dementia epidemic? What measures will be adopted to meet the socioeconomic demands of dementia and how families, friends, coworkers, neighbours and everyone in the society can ensure that persons with the disease maintain a high quality of life, are given adequate care and are allowed to maintain their dignity and respect through out the journey. We believe that education is key not only to those affected but on a national scale. It is our objective to provide information, tips and products that are designed specificaly to offer  hope and make life easier for  persons with Alzheimers Disease their families, caregivers and friends.
