Make history by being a part of ours. Alzheimer's Community Care was founded in 1996 by a group of local residents concerned about the growing number of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related neurocognitive disorders. They were determined that all funds raised would be used locally to provide community-based services, and that both caregivers and patients would receive the highest quality, specialized care delivered with dignity and compassion. Today, as the largest provider of community-based, dementia-specific services in Florida, we invite you to become a part of our history in serving others in the community. We are hiring.
