    Florida Gulf Coast Chapter

    In Florida, an estimated one in eight seniors age 65 and older is living with Alzheimer's. More than 840,000 caregivers dedicate 1.3 billion hours of unpaid care. From Naples to Tampa to Lakeland and every town in between, your local Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association is here to help. 

    Whether it’s offering support to anyone facing Alzheimer’s, advocating for the needs and rights of those facing dementia, or advancing critical research, we work toward methods of treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.
