Western Alzheimers Foundation

Western Alzheimers was established in 1994 to provide help and support to carers and families of loved ones living with Alzheimers disease. Currently 55,000 people live with dementia in Ireland, 5,000 of whom live in counties Galway, Mayo and Roscommon. Today Western Alzheimers provides a wide range of services across the counties of Galway, Mayo and Roscommon which includes: in-Home Support, Day care, Respite, Long stay specialised dementia care and Support and Advice. We are dedicated to ensuring that we provide services of the highest standard to family carers and so allow them to have a complete break from caring on a regular basis. Alzheimers is a heart-breaking disease that impacts, not only the sufferer, but also the extended family and carers. Our vision is to reduce the impact of dementia through support and care in the community by sharing the burden of care with those who need our help. We endeavour to ensure that persons living with dementia can enjoy a meaningful life as an active member of the community for as long as possible
