Our Mission
The Alzheimer's Project, Inc. (APT) exists to provide comfort, support, and assistance to persons with memory disorders and their caregivers. APT is committed to serving the Big Bend community of Florida through education and training, in-home respite, support groups, counseling, referral to community resources, and pro-active recovery of wanderers through the Project Lifesaver program.

The Alzheimer's Project is a non-profit organization funded
by grants and private donations. The Alzheimer's Project is
dedicated to providing relief to the caregivers of persons
suffering from Alzheimer's Disease or other memory
impairments. ALL services available to the caregivers are
provided FREE of charge.
The goal of the Alzheimer's Project is to keep caregivers
healthier, both physically and emotionally, to prolong the
abilities of caregivers, and to delay institutionalization of the
patients.
