During the first semester of 2023, we have obtained encouraging results that fill us with joy and drive us to continue forward in our mission.
During this period, we have directly served 45 beneficiaries, providing them with the care and assistance they need.
Our physiotherapy team has conducted 1,089 individual sessions, contributing to improve the mobility and physical functionality of our users.
The nursing department has carried out 87 "Health Monitoring" interventions, ensuring constant and timely follow-up of their health status.
13 workshops for direct user socialization conducted by social work.
29 group music sessions were held, where our beneficiaries were able to enjoy and actively participate.
During this semester, we had the collaboration of 20 volunteers and 99 dedicated students, whose support has been priceless for the functioning of our institution.
Proper nutrition is crucial for the well-being of our users, so we have served a total of 3,822 nutritious and balanced meals.
29 socio-economic studies were conducted.
We have expanded our online presence through the “Alzheimer Mexico at Home” platform, where 180 sessions have been carried out. This has allowed us to continue providing support and cognitive stimulation for those who cannot physically attend our facilities.
10 support group sessions for caretakers were held, providing a safe space to share experiences and receive guidance.
Cognitive stimulation is a fundamental part of our care model, so we have conducted 285 workshops.
154 nutritional assessments were realized, ensuring that our beneficiaries receive appropriate and balanced meals for their health and well-being.
We are happy and proud of the results obtained during this first semester of 2023.
Our commitment to improve the life quality of people living with dementia remains strong, and we will continue working hard to provide them with the support and care they deserve.

Your donation has been of great help to continue fulfilling our objective as an institution, we continue to provide comprehensive non-pharmacological care to people with some type of dementia, favoring the maintenance of residual capacities and, therefore, their integration into the social and family environment. Likewise, care is provided to family members and/or caregivers, lessening the impact of the disease on the family network.
The support provided has been directed to the Neuropsychology program allowing the acquisition of materials with greater durability, which allowed the incorporation of manual dexterity activities and continue favoring the various cognitive processes.
Through cognitive stimulation, people who come to the day center benefit in different ways, such is the case of Mr. Armando, who suffers from Alzheimer's, before joining us he was cared for by his grandson, the type of activities he carried out it was limited, when he entered the foundation he was apathetic, however, as the days went by he came with better spirits and was participatory. Currently, he shows a moderate progress of the disease, has social interaction with people close to his age and is properly integrated into cognitive activities, in this way a direct benefit is observed in the patient and indirectly in the well-being of his familiar.
Among the materials acquired are: sandboxes with blackboards for tactile perception and association, vertical and horizontal pin for fine motor skills, magnetic labyrinths, color series boards, sensory blocks, key panel for activities of daily living, among others.
¡Thank you very much for being a hope of life!

We want to begin by thanking the generosity we have received this year, a year with great challenges and many experiences in favor of people with dementia and their environment.
In September, world Alzheimer's day is commemorated, this day seeks to disseminate information about this disease to generate greater knowledge about it, raise awareness among the population and that those who suffer from it attend support groups.
That is why during this month we live the great event Alzheimer- Learn and Act 2021, whose objective is to guide and raise awareness among family members, caregivers and the general public about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
So far, 17,908 people have entered the official platform of the event, the material will be available for free, for families, health professionals and the general public who need to learn and act on the field of dementia.
A great event like this requires great efforts and none of this would be possible without our great sponsors, we look for great alliances and brands such as Laboratorios Carnot, Senosiain, Laboratorios Biogen, Nativa 5, Nefintec have joined.
During the months of October and November, the assistance of the beneficiaries has been increasing at the day center, currently we receive around 25 people per day.
The special dates are not far behind and this year for the Day of the Dead (Mexican tradition). We celebrate it with a costume contest, dance, bread of the dead, and the classic delivery of the skull (sweets). Giving way to our December dates, on the 16th we held the inn and Christmas meal for the beneficiaries, in the workshops they made piñatas and filled them with sweets and fruits, so that that day they could be broken, Christmas gifts were made and we had a traditional Christmas dinner.
During the month we return to external events taking our stand to the Volunteer Fair in the University City Islands and the JAP (Private Assistance Board) Christmas bazaar where we invite the university community to participate in our volunteer program and We also sold products with a cause, which allow us to raise funds for the benefit of the foundation.
We thank all the people who have contributed in some way to improve and strengthen our cause. To all and all those people who clicked the donation button or bought a product with a cause, to all those who dedicated their time to volunteering, to the companies that decided to form a strategic alliance with us, to the foundations and associations that they accompany us.
Thank you for being a hope for life!
