Alzheimer's Project of Tallahassee

Alzheimer's Project, Inc. provides support and services to individuals with memory disorders and their family care-partners throughout the Big Bend. We were founded in 1991 by Saint Paul's United Methodist Church and later became an independent non-profit 501(c)(3). Due to the generous donations and volunteers of the Big Bend community we are able to offer many services at no cost to our clients.

Counseling: Provides individuals or families the opportunity to share their feelings with trained professionals.

Support Groups: Allows the caregivers the opportunity to share their experiences in a safe group setting.

Respite-Social Clubs: Provides individuals living with dementia a safe and stimulating environment and provides caregivers time for themselves. A bi-lingual Spanish-speaking respite is also offered.

Powerful Tools for Caregivers: Educational series that teaches caregivers self-care to thrive, not just survive in a 6-week long class that meets once a week.

AmeriCorps In-home Respite: Trained AmeriCorps volunteers provide qualified caregivers with 8 to 10 hours of in-home care weekly.

Education and Training: Dementia Education Series, Alzheimer's Disease Manual for the Big Bend, Annual Alzheimer's Disease Education and Training Conference, Speaker's Bureau, Lending Library, Volunteer Training, and training for professionals.
