ANU Community Development Corporation provides compassionate, community-based caregiver support and practical aging-in-place resources for seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and for the families who care for them. We understand the emotional, financial, and physical strain that unpaid caregiving can place on families, particularly when access to long-term care services is limited.

Our Senior Support & Alzheimer’s Caregiver Program addresses critical gaps in long-term care access for families who do not qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford private in-home care. Through coordinated, community-based services, ANU CDC works to ensure that seniors remain safe, supported, and dignified in their homes while strengthening caregiver capacity and reducing burnout.

The program connects families with trusted service providers, caregiver education, benefits navigation assistance, and aging-in-place support solutions designed to reduce stress, improve quality of life, and delay unnecessary institutionalization.

By expanding access to dementia-capable supports and strengthening community partnerships, ANU CDC promotes person-centered care, caregiver stability, and sustainable aging-in-place outcomes for vulnerable seniors and their families.

Across our community, thousands of families are providing unpaid care to aging parents, spouses, and relatives living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. These caregivers often balance full-time employment, financial responsibilities, and their own health needs while managing complex medical and daily living challenges for their loved ones.

Alzheimer’s disease not only affects memory and cognitive function — it places long-term emotional, physical, and financial strain on entire families. Many seniors do not qualify for Medicaid long-term care services, yet private in-home care remains financially out of reach. As a result, unpaid caregivers experience burnout, lost income, emotional stress, and increased health risks, while seniors face the threat of premature institutionalization.

Without community-based intervention, families are left navigating these challenges alone.
