ASSOCIATION ALZHEIMER & DEMENTIA MAURITIUS
CARING AND SUPPORT FOR DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMER
Objectives
The organization aims to improve the quality of life of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia while offering compassionate support to their families and caregivers. It works to raise public awareness, reduce stigma, promote early detection, and educate communities through awareness campaigns, workshops, counselling, and outreach programmes. We also advocate for the rights, dignity, and well-being of affected individuals by encouraging inclusive environments, improving access to services, and collaborating with healthcare professionals and community partners to strengthen support systems.
Who are we ?
The Association Alzheimer and Dementia is a non-governmental organisation inaugurated in 2010 and currently located in Mesnil. We are dedicated to supporting and caring for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia in a safe, compassionate, and structured environment.
Our centre operates from Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., providing beneficiaries with a range of therapeutic and stimulating activities designed to enhance well-being, preserve abilities, and promote dignity. These interventions are delivered by a multidisciplinary teamof professionals, including psychologists, physiotherapists, and speech therapists, ensuring holistic and personalised care.
In addition, we offer a parent and caregiver support group, creating a welcoming space where families can share experiences, receive guidance, and find emotional support throughout their caregiving journey.
Beyond care, our mission is also to raise awareness within the community. Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of ageing—it is a medical condition that deserves understanding, early recognition, and compassionate support. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, we strive to break stigma, promote dignity, and inspire a more informed and caring society.
With empathy, professionalism, and hope at the heart of everything we do, we work each day to
improve the quality of life of individuals living with dementia and the families who walk this
journey alongside them.
