At Alzheimers Coachella Valley, we focus on the PERSON with cognitive impairment and what is STILL POSSIBLE. Our philosophy is to assist the individual and family whether it is providing resources, up-to-date information, and very importantly, socialization. We believe that "life goes on," and encourage both caregiver and loved one to tap into that and continue to live!
