We believe that everyone impacted by Dementia deserves the resources to have an optimal quality of life and hope until there is a world without Dementia. More than 170,000 people in North Carolina are impacted by all types of Dementia, including Alzheimer’s. The need is great to build a state of caring.
That’s why DA-NC provides CARE (Comfort, Assistance, Resources and Education) to caregivers, individuals, medical professionals and partners in North Carolina. Without DA-NC, there would be no local support organization based in NC. It is the only Dementia-focused organization based in North Carolina where 100 percent of donated funds remain in the state.
