About Us


Vision: To end the silence about Alzheimer’s and related dementias in urban communities.
 
Mission: To educate minorities and provide care and housing solutions to fight the silent epidemic of Alzheimer’s and related dementias in urban commmunities.

 

Minority and economically disadvantaged seniors are at greater risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias due to environmental, lifestyle and behavioral factors.  The Minority Memory Loss Project is a national initiative aimed to educate minorities, provide care and housing solutions to fight the epidemic of Alzheimer’s and related dementias and to end the silence in urban communities.  The Minority Memory Loss Project collaborates with organizations, residential home and care providers, churches and other memory loss advocates across our nation.

The goal of this project is to deliver culturally sensitive: 

  • Care and housing solutions
  • Workshops
  • Discussion groups
  • Speakers

That will promote mindful memory health, cognitive vitality, improved quality of life, improved quality of care and treatment and a better understanding of memory loss among minorities, especially our endangered seniors and their caregivers.
