— Collaboration expands access to proven tools and resources for families caring for individuals with dementia —
CHICAGO, Aug. 17, 2026 — The Alzheimer’s Association announced today a three-year partnership with Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging and Family Caregiver Alliance to support and expand Best Programs for Caregiving (BPC), a national initiative focused on identifying and promoting evidence-based programs for family caregivers.Through the partnership, which runs from 2026 through 2028, the Alzheimer’s Association will support the continued growth and visibility of BPC, helping ensure caregivers have access to trusted, high-quality resources. The collaboration aims to make it easier for families to find and access proven caregiving support. Together, partners aim to:
- Increase awareness of helpful, proven resources available to caregivers of people living with dementia.
- Connect families to support earlier in the caregiving journey.
- Encourage adoption of proven models by health care and community organizations.
“We are proud to welcome the Alzheimer’s Association as a partner in Best Programs for Caregiving,” said David Bass, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Research & Education at Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging. “Their leadership in dementia care and support will help strengthen the reach and impact of evidence-based programs, ensuring more caregivers can access proven tools and resources when they need them most.”
As a partner, the Alzheimer’s Association will collaborate closely with the BPC project team to advance caregiver support efforts. This includes participating in ongoing working groups, co-authoring research on caregiving programs, increasing awareness and use of evidence-based resources, and submitting the Association’s evidence-based programs for potential inclusion into the BPC database.
Alzheimer’s Association programs being considered for inclusion in the BPC database include:
- The Empowered Caregiver
- Managing Money: A Caregiver’s Guide to Finances
- Care Consultation (24/7 Helpline)
Best Programs for Caregiving is a free, online national directory of rigorously evaluated programs that have demonstrated positive outcomes for dementia caregivers. The platform enables users to:
- Search for programs by ZIP code and format (in-person, online or phone-based).
- Compare options based on outcomes such as stress reduction, care skills and well-being.
- Access enrollment details, eligibility and cost information.
Nearly 13 million Americans provide unpaid care for people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. According to a 2024 Alzheimer’s Association survey, 70% of dementia caregivers say navigating care is stressful, and 66% report difficulty finding resources and support.
