Public Invite to an Alzheimer’s presentation
At Age Care Association we are all too well aware of the depilating diseases of Alzheimer’s and dementia and their rise in our English speaking community here on the Costa del Sol.
We are actively looking for ways to help both the inflicted and their caregivers and therefore are happy to offer a presentation on Alzheimer’s and Dementia to be given by the Fuengirola branch of the Spanish National Alzheimer’s Association (Associacion de Familiares de Enfermos de Alzheimer y otras Demencias de Fuengirola-Mijas Costa).
They will be providing IN ENGLISH an informative lecture on both what services they are able to offer as well as on the disease itself. We would be delighted if any members of the public would attend.

About Age Care Association
Age Care Association is a fully registered, non-profit making organisation staffed entirely by volunteers. Our Spanish registration number is 6282 – CIF – G92487602 (Registro de Asociaciones de Andalucia). The majority of our work is helping older British people living in the Province of Malaga, but we do not exclude other nationalities that speak English. We provide welfare information, practical support and two help lines (Telephones: 691761088, and 655903182). The Association also has a hospital and home visiting team. Other volunteers visit people in Care Homes when necessary. As part of our work we have repatriated some individuals to the UK, where there are more caring facilities and access to benefits unavailable in Spain. Some of our volunteers have had careers in nursing, education, psychology and other caring professions and are accustomed to listening in a sympathetic and kind manner. We work closely with the British Consulate, Royal British Legion, and branches of the International Lions.
