Asian American Dementia Care Network
The Asian American Dementia Care Network is a three year demonstration project that serves Chinese and Korean American families in Los Angeles. Services include: information and referral, caregiver and community education, care management, support groups, and respite subsidies for adult day care or in-home support. Direct services are provided through two community partner agencies: Chinatown Service Center and the Korean Health, Education, Information and Research (KHEIR) Center. Each agency hosts a bilingual Care Advocate to work with families affected by dementia.

The Network has produced a variety of publications, including translations of Alzheimer's Association brochures. To download the publications, click below
