The main aims of Alzheimer León are to improve quality of life for sufferers, promote research, protect the rights of sufferers, provide family support, inform the public to facilitate an early diagnosis of new cases, provide a source of specialized information for those people who deal daily with Alzheimer’s sufferers and those suffering from related illnesses, and to promote better understanding of the disease. A multi-faceted team made up of around 50 people is responsible for the direct management of programs, centres and related services aimed at the patient, his or her family members and society at large, providing quality and compassion. Furthermore, as a sign of its constant progress, Alzheimer León holds the international certificates UNE-EN ISO 9001 in quality management systems and UNE-EN ISO 14001 in environmental management systems. Alzheimer León currently has : • 336 users • 1,031 members (241 are helpers and 790 are family members of sufferers) • 179 volunteers Mission, Vision and Values The MISSION undertaken by Alzheimer León is to promote integrated and specialized attention to dementias by means of the planning, organization and co-ordination of programs and support services for sufferers and their families, with the aim of improving their quality of life, defending their rights and educating society about the disease. The VISION is to consolidate Alzheimer León as a reference point in the treatment and prevention of dementias, and as a solid, participative and transparent organization in the provision and creation of quality services for those people who are affected. The VALUES espoused by Alzheimer León are: CCOHERENCE and COMMITMENT : In the activities undertaken and meeting statutory aims, with financial and technical transparency, and with the intention of constantly affirming its excellence as a reference point. FAIRNESS and UNIVERSALITY FOR ALL SUFFERERS AND THEIR FAMILIES : Underscored by MUTUAL AID, a process of providing and receiving help ; Alzheimer León ‘s members’ relationship to each other is based on equality and reciprocity. COHESION The people who make up the Association share their knowledge and carry out their work through social participation based on team-work, co-operation and mutual aid. 5 Aims • To support sufferers and their families, by highlighting their social, financial and healthorientated needs, as well as their care requirements and other resources. • To promote excellence in top-quality care. • To provide professional staff and sufferers’ families with information and training. • To promote research and awareness in the early detection of the disease. • To achieve organizational quality and stability in the programs undertaken. • To educate the general public about the importance of an early diagnosis. The causes of this disease are still unknown, which evidently makes it difficult to cure and which necessitates knowledge of dementias associated with old age and their symptoms in order to be able to act promptly. With this aim, Alzheimer León has instituted a large number of programs and services over the years which meet the needs of sufferers, and which are based on three approaches : the patient, his or her family, and action which is centred on the community and society in general. At the same time, we must highlight the effort made by Alzheimer León to establish and consolidate the CAI (nitials in Spanish), the Centre for Integrated Attention to Alzheimer’s, a model of integrated and integral attention which attends to an ever-increasing number of sufferers, and which promotes innovative projects focused on detection and early diagnosis of memory loss. History of the Association In 1991, in the face of an ageing population and the consequent proliferation of cases of Alzheimer’s Disease among older people, a doctor and lecturer at the University School of Social Work in León encouraged two of his female students to set up an organization to provide help for Alzheimer’s sufferers’ families. After various formalities, and with the impetus provided by these two students and thanks to the work done by the first group of family members, the León Association of Family Members of Sufferers of Alzheimer’s Disease and other Dementias was formed on the 24th of May, as a non-profit-making organization, and with the support of the first group of volunteers. The Association goes on to represent and lead the associated grouping of family members of Alzheimer’s sufferers, and is a precursor to social services and care offered, the most prominent of which are the Day Centres and the Memory Unit ; the Association is the co-founder of the Regional Federation (AFACAYLE) and has become a national and international reference point for the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease. 6 Addresses Centre for Integrated Attention (CAI) C/ Fotógrafo Pepe Gracia s/n CP 24005 León Tel.: 987 26 07 96 Fax: 987 10 25 01 Website: www.alzheimerleon.org E-mail: [email protected] Help Centre C/ Paseo del Parque s/n Edificio C.H.F.

For healthy and active people. 7 8 9 InternationalHelpingHandAwards InternationalHelpingHandAwards In 2011, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Association, Alzheimer León initiated the International “Helping Hand” Awards, with the aim of giving recognition and support to the work undertaken by individuals, organizations, institutions and other groups, be they private or public, and irrespective of the nature of their activity, all of whom contribute to the fight against the disease and towards improving the quality of life of sufferers and their families. The awards are given in three categories: individual, institutional and individual recognition from the general public. 10 The International “Helping Hand” Awards are presented at an annual ceremony held in the City of León Auditorium and the recipients each receive a limited-edition work by the painter and artist Luis García Zurdo, a renowned European exponent of stained-glass art. The “Helping Hand” Awards came into existence with the intention of becoming international, long-standing awards, and this year they celebrate their 4th edition. Work Methodology The International “Helping Hand” Awards were set up as a symbol of the mission and aims of The Alzheimer León Association, and nominations must reflect exemplary commitment. The nominees’ work must be of clearly acknowledged benefit to sufferers of the disease and to their families. The General Assembly of members ratifies every edition of the awards, and the methodology of the work undertaken, to be able to present the International “Helping Hand” Awards in a way which shows transparency and reflects good governance. The task of giving awards corresponds to the jury, which is named for the purpose each year in accordance with the rules, and the Association must refrain from influencing or interfering with the independence of the jury’s criteria. The jury’s decision is taken independently and its members express their opinion and vote in complete confidence, in accordance with the procedures established by the Association. The “Helping Hand” Award The International “Helping Hand” Awards give shape to Alzheimer León’s dream: to make people aware of the disease, to increase knowledge and to educate the public, to promote the role of inspirational people and institutions who encourage and support the quest for effective solutions to Alzheimer’s, and who develop innovative research models and aid programs which improve the quality of life for sufferers. The big family which is Alzheimer León (users, members, volunteers, sponsors) works day after day with great effort, grit, enthusiasm and joy to provide our patients with the best possible attention, and at the same time shares a dream with the recipients of awards – a future without this disease. Alzheimer León holds out its hand, a Helping Hand, to those who share this dream of building together hope for the future. 11 12 InternationalHelpingHandAwards “HELPING HAND” AWARDS Past EditioNs 13 14 Ist Editionof the “Helping Hand”Awards Awards Ceremony Date 17th of November 2011 Place City of León Auditorium Presented by Irma Soriano and Tony Isbert Award Limited-edition work donated by the artist Luis García Zurdo for each of the award winners Performing Acts Vocal Lauda “We’re like this“ by Lipdub Jury Named on the 28th of June 2011 • Mr. Luis García Zurdo Artist and exponent of stained-glass art • Mr. Miguel Cordero del Campillo Emeritus Professor at the University of León • Mr. Pedro Trapiello Writer and journalist • Mr. Joaquín de Juan Doctor and lecturer at the University School of Social Work in León • Ms. Mercedes García Fernández President of Alzheimer León • Ms. Flor de Juan Managing Director of Alzheimer León Award winners Category: Institution Consortium of the Reina Sofía Foundation and the Pasqual Maragall Foundation In recognition of the launch of “Alzheimer’s International 2011, the Year of Research into Alzheimer’s“ ; a platform for presentation of the latest advances in research into Alzheimer’s carried out in two related fields – the Field of Basic and Clinical Research and the Field of Social and Health-orientated Research. www.alzheimerinternacional2011.org Category: Individual Dr. Barry Reisberg Doctor of Medicine, Professor of Psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of New York and Director of the Fisher Program for Alzheimer’s and the Clinical Core in the Alzheimer’s Disease Centre at the University of New York.
