Part of the Alois Alzheimer Center's mission is to contribute to the understanding of Alzheimer's Disease. It is our hope that the new information and knowledge we provide will help existing and future individuals touched by Alzheimer's disease and their families. The Alois Alzheimer Center acts as a resource for individuals, families, communities and future health care professionals by offering interaction with experienced staff and a clinical setting for students.

The Alois Alzheimer Center provides an environment which coordinates and conducts research that will improve the care of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.  Local and national research projects are continuously in process, ranging from measuring the effects of specific programs to experimental drug treatments. Research participation is completely voluntary and conducted only with prior approval.

Students are provided with opportunities for education and research through long-standing affiliations with regional colleges including the world-class medical school at the University of Cincinnati. Through these partnerships we hope to increase knowledge of the disease and develop new treatments.  Educational involvement stimulates and motivates our staff, and ensures state-of-the-art care for families and residents. The information generated is shared nationally and internationally to enhance care for individuals with dementia worldwide.
