mission statement
message from the chairs
We are pleased to report fiscal year 2004 was one of great accomplishment for the
Alzheimer’s Association, New York City Chapter and would like to share some of the
highlights.
Over the course of the past year, we trained over 5,000 professionals and reached
over 4,500 family caregivers through our Speaker’s Bureau and Community Education
programs. We expanded our 24-hour Helpline by joining the National Contact Center
and launched our new Web site, which includes hands-on, practical and essential
information on local services. With nearly 5,000 New Yorkers now registered in our
Alzheimer’s Association Safe Return™ program, we coordinated over 300 incidents of
missing people, achieving a success rate of 98% for those registered in Safe Return™.
By the end of the fiscal year, the number of support groups for family caregivers
and persons in the early stage of the disease increased to a total of 114 and over
1,300 families received critical care consultation. We also initiated a new program,
Partnering With Your Doctor, workshops to educate family caregivers on ways to
enhance their visits with physicians.
Acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Joel Meyerowitz was keynote speaker at our
Fourth Annual Early Stage Conference, which attracted more than 325 participants. He
is one of many Chapter friends who participated in our work. Jonathan Franzen, awardwinning author of The Corrections, and Barry Reisberg, MD, distinguished researcher,
clinician and Clinical Director of the Silberstein Aging and Dementia Research Center at
NYU Medical Center both presented at our 16th Annual Chapter Gathering.
Our fundraising and public awareness events had unprecedented success. Over
2,500 people attended Memory Walk 2003 and over $340,000 was raised. We held
our Inaugural Championship Night of Sports Memories & Legends event in February,
bringing out some of the most well loved names in sports to support our work. And
our 2004 Forget-Me-Not Gala, honoring Howard Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Forest Laboratories, Inc., was chaired by Linda Kaye, hosted by Peter Gallagher, star of
the hit TV series The O. C., and attended by over 500 guests, including members of the
award-winning cast of The Sopranos. The event raised a record-breaking $800,000.
In March, Lou-Ellen Barkan joined our Chapter as President and CEO. Under the
leadership of Lou-Ellen, our Executive Vice-President Jed Levine and our new Board
Co-Chairs Susan V. Kayser and Mark A. Zurack, the New York City Chapter is well
positioned to meet the community’s growing need for our programs and services.
Irvin D. Flinn, Esq., Co-Chair
William Kaye, Co-Chair
The ultimate aim of the New York City Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association is to eliminate
Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Until that goal is achieved, our immediate vision is to
provide leadership in creating and sustaining a comprehensive and humane system of patient
care and family support which enhances the quality of life for persons affected by the disease.
letter from the president
In more ways than one, Alzheimer’s
is a disease of the here and now. By
necessity, we worry about what each
day will bring. Will dad know my name
today? Will my grandmother wander?
Will there be a battle at bath time? Yet
it is also a disease that forces us to
keep a watchful eye on the future: what
medical crisis is on the horizon? How
will I cope as my husband’s condition
worsens?
out of 10 people with Alzheimer’s disease live at home, where the
national average “paid’ care cost per family is $12,500 per year – almost all of which is paid out of pocket. These costs will only rise.
We anticipate that demands for services at the New York City
Chapter will increase exponentially.
As healthcare and social service providers, as supporters and
friends, we must continue to ask ourselves, how we can best work
together to create a future that helps us cope with these enormous
burdens – one that is focused, smart and strategic in how we raise
and allocate our precious dollars.
As an organization, the Alzheimer’s Association, New York City
Chapter confronts the day-to-day challenges of ensuring adequate
resources to operate our Alzheimer’s Association Safe Return™
program, our support groups, our educational and legal/financial
seminars, our care consultation, and our all important 24-hour
Helpline. Yet, despite the day-to-day demands on our time and
resources, as an organization, and as a community, we must also
maintain a strong focus on the future. Should we fail the community today, it will have dire consequences in the future.
We must be strong public advocates who are firm in demanding
that our elected and public officials enact legislation and create
programs to provide assistance to protect the welfare of families
living with Alzheimer’s.
An estimated 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. Approximately 5% of these individuals live in New York City. Studies
have shown that the number of people living with the disease could
grow as high as 16 million by the year 2050. Why should this concern us, now, in 2004? To some extent, the numbers tell the story.
If the 5% number holds, we may have as many as 800,000 persons
with the disease living in New York City in the year 2050 – and for
each one of these, there will be at least one, and in some cases,
multiple caregivers. The impact to the community, to the healthcare system, to our business community -- and to our children and
grandchildren will be devastating.
At the New York City Chapter, our safety net and support programs
will be stretched to the brink. We must be ready to contend with
new and unrelenting burdens.
Today, the annual national price tag for caring for individuals with
Alzheimer’s disease is at least $100 billion. Alzheimer’s disease
costs American business $61 billion a year in health care costs
and lost productivity due to factors such as absenteeism and
worker replacement. By 2025, as the baby boomers celebrate
their seventieth and then eightieth birthdays, the strain on the
nation will be enormous. If left unchecked, Alzheimer’s disease and
related dementias will cripple the health care system and bankrupt
Medicare and Medicaid.
The impact will also touch individual families in very real ways. As
the numbers of people with Alzheimer’s grow, the numbers of family
caregivers will increase proportionately. Right now, more than 7
Vision Statement
We must prepare the healthcare system now to cope with the
anticipated strain on emergency room and primary care doctors,
nursing homes, assisted living facilities – all of which will necessitate additional training, resources and manpower.
And finally, we must seek increased government funding to fund
research that will help us develop new drug therapies and lead to
important medical advances.
Looking back over the past year, we should be very proud of our
accomplishments: public awareness has never been higher; more
and more New Yorkers are taking advantage of our ever-expanding services; great strides have been made in research and drug
trials. But we must be wary of the day that is coming and it is only
with your continued financial help that we will be able to fulfill our
obligation to the Alzheimer’s community. Your generosity ensures
that our programs are viable and effective and that we can raise
our voice to exact greater influence on public policy.
As we look to the future, we know that we must stand together
now so that we can stand together on that day when, thanks to
your support, we announce that we now live in a world without
Alzheimer’s disease.
Lou-Ellen Barkan, President & CEO
our work
is about people and science...
the new york city chapter
a flagship chapter in the national Alzheimer’s
Association, is proud of our accomplishments.
We continue to dedicate our work to those
NewYorkers who struggle with the devastating
impact of Alzheimer’s disease and related
dementias. While we continue to increase
our reach into the community, too many are
still unable to locate the services and resources
they need. It is with these hard-pressed New
Yorkers in mind, as well as those who have
already found their way to us, that we dedicate
our work.
the compassion to care . . .
our vision
where we are
what we do
Looking ahead, we remain both
hopeful and confident that real
progress will be made toward our
long-term vision of creating a
world without Alzheimer’s disease.
The goals identified by our founders remain as relevant today as they
were in the beginning. Today we
know that more than 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s.
Together with their families they
are battling this devastating disease.
5%, or 200,000 of these individuals live in New York City. Given
the demographic trends, including
the rapidly aging baby boomers, we
When the New York City Chapter
was established as part of the
national Alzheimer’s Disease and
Related Disorders Association back
in 1979/80, our mutual goals could
be summarized as follows: Research;
Education; Chapter creation/support; Advocacy; and Patient/Family
Services. The acronym “RECAP”
was coined by Jerome Stone, founding Chairman of the National
Board of Directors, to capture and
describe the purposes and activities
of our new and essential national
movement.
We envision that our community
will have a full complement of
high-quality, accessible, and humane
programs and services to support
everyone affected by Alzheimer’s
disease – persons who have the disease, family members, professional
caregivers and the community.
Moreover, we will play a central
role in helping people connect to
these essential services.
The New York City Chapter will
play a central role in ensuring access
to important clinical trials and innovative research studies.
We will be engaged in the multiple
ethnic and cultural communities
in New York City, responding to
the needs of each community in a
culturally appropriate and distinct
voice.
Because we envision a world where
Alzheimer’s disease is recognized as
a significant public health concern,
any stigma associated with the
disease will be eliminated. The New
York City Chapter will be an active
and vocal participant in crucial advocacy coalitions. People diagnosed
with Alzheimer’s disease and their
family members will participate
actively in these efforts.
can expect more than 16,000,000
Americans to have Alzheimer’s
disease by the year 2050 if nothing
is done. We can expect our community to have 800,000 people
with Alzheimer’s disease, each with
at minimum of one caregiver. We
know that New York City is not
prepared to deal with the impact of
this situation.
Much has happened since those
early days of the Alzheimer’s
Association, but progress and challenges notwithstanding, the goals
identified by the founders remain
(alas) as relevant today as they
were in the beginning. Today we
know that more than 4.5 million
Americans and their families are
battling this still baffling illness.
More than 200,000 of these are
residents of New York City. We
know as well that given our aging
society, and unless effective treatments and a cure are found, this
number is sure to multiply to more
than 16 million sufferers by the
middle of this century.
the leadership to conquer
research
Contributors to the NYC Chapter
can be justifiably proud of their
exceptional record of giving to
Alzheimer’s research. From 1986 to
2004 a total of $1,829,881 has been
contributed by the NYC Chapter
for research. Without the active
participation of our community, we
would not have made many of the
recent advances in diagnostics and
treatment. Thanks to our donors,
we have a deeper understanding of
the disease; a growing awareness of
the etiology and processes involved
in the disease; and the availability of
the treatment interventions which
would likely not have come to pass.
education & training
In the early years of the Alzheimer’s
Association, the challenge was to
help people recognize Alzheimer’s
disease. Over the years, in large
measure due to the efforts and hard
work of the Alzheimer’s Association
and its Chapters, public awareness has increased significantly. As
a result, the stigma associated with
the disease has decreased and people
are reaching out more than ever for
support and information on topics such as where to turn when the
diagnosis is Alzheimer’s disease; how
to help a hard-pressed caregiver;
what to do/ask when considering
residential care.
And, because the disease is relentlessly progressive, the landscape
keeps changing. How to communicate when communication skills
are fading; how to react when the
person with AD becomes agitated,
or even combative; how to keep a
loved one safe; where to get help
with homecare; how to finance the
we see
progress and hope
high costs of long term care; how to
care for oneself.
With our skilled and experienced
staff, and our more than 500 invaluable volunteers, the New York City
Chapter conducted more than 372
education and training sessions in
2004 for more than 10,356 clients
including family members and professional caregivers; those who work
in the home as well as those who
work in the assisted living and nursing home community. In addition
to sessions conducted at the Chapter
offices, sessions have also been held
on-site at residential care facilities.
These carefully planned seminars
enhance both knowledge and skills
to ensure the highest level of patient
care and, equally important, the
pride that professional caregivers
have in their difficult work.
10 ways
to Maintain
Your Brain™
When we think about staying fit, we generally think from the neck down. But brain health plays a
critical role in almost everything we do — thinking, feeling, remembering, working, playing — even
sleeping. The good news is we now know there are things we can do to keep our brain healthier as
we age — and these steps might reduce our risk of Alzheimer’s.
1 Head first
6 Jog your mind
Good health starts with your brain,
so don’t take it for granted. It’s one
of the most important body organs,
and it needs care and maintenance.
Keeping your brain active and
engaged increases its vitality and
builds reserves of brain cells and
connections. Read, write, play
games, do crossword puzzles.
2 Take brain health
to heart
Heart disease, high blood pressure,
diabetes and stroke can increase
your risk of Alzheimer’s.
3 Your numbers count
Keep your body weight, blood
pressure, cholesterol and blood
sugar levels within recommended
ranges.
4 Feed your brain
Eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol
diet that features dark-skinned
vegetables and fruits; foods rich in
antioxidant; vitamins E, C and B-12;
folate; and omega-3 fatty acids.
5 Work your body
Physical exercise keeps the blood
flowing and encourages new
brain cells. It’s doesn’t have to be a
strenuous activity. Do what you
can — like walking 30 minutes
a day — to keep both body and
mind active.
7 Connect with others
Leisure activities that combine
physical, mental and social elements
are most likely to prevent dementia.
Be social, converse, volunteer, join a
club or take a class.
8 Heads up! Protect
your brain
Take precautions against head
injuries. Use your car seat belts;
unclutter your house to avoid falls;
and wear a helmet when cycling or
rollerblading.
9 Use your head
Avoid unhealthy habits. Don’t
smoke, drink excessive alcohol or
use street drugs.
10 Think ahead start today!
You can do something today to
protect your tomorrow.

is a world without alzheimer’s.
Until then we envision that our five-borough service territory will have a full complement of accessible, quality, and
humane programs and services to support everyone affected by dementing illnesses, be they those who are diagnosed,
family members, or other caregivers.
from understanding comes hope
– hope creates action…
advocacy
The Alzheimer’s Association publicly
supports those programs that will
lead to a supportive environment for
those with AD and their caregivers.
Our advocates plead their case on
behalf of everyone affected by the
disease. We collaborate with powerful coalitions. We meet with policy
makers and elected representatives.
We advocate to opinion leaders and
the media as well as to the public at
large. In an environment of many
competing interests, we gather
together to raise our voice to ensure
that we can be heard.
As government struggles to make
ends meet, we are proud to report
that we have kept our issues on the
table at the federal, state and city
levels. The community’s support
is crucial. In the coming months,
please heed our Calls to Action.You
can make a difference by participating in our advocacy efforts – and
our New York City Alzheimer’s
community is counting on you.
public policy
The Chapter’s public policy efforts
continued to focus on responding
to federal, state, and local health and
long term care legislative proposals and initiatives. The Chapter
continued to make legislative visits
to elected officials in support of
legislation to assure quality of care
and access to and availability of
sufficient and enhanced in-home
and community-based services for
persons with Alzheimer’s disease.
As part of the Coalition of New
York State Alzheimer’s Association
Chapters, the NYC Chapter actively
participated in development and dissemination of the Coalition’s annual
Legislative Agenda and in the annual
Coalition advocacy day in Albany
as well as in the annual Alzheimer’s
Association Public Policy Forum
held in Washington D.C.
patient & family

24-hour Helpline, the first in the
country, could be accessed with a
toll free number and with translation in 140 languages.
• We provided over 130 Support
Groups -- for caregivers, persons
with early stage AD, grandchildren and long distance caregivers, in person and by telephone,
to name just a few of the special groups that meet regularly
throughout our five borough
community.
• We provided a comprehensive
program of support activities for
the early stage community, which
continues to grow.
• We partnered with NYPD and
local hospitals to ensure that our

www.alznyc.org, which continues to help users access information at their own convenience.
Improvements include: expanded,
practical caregiver tips on topics
from agitation and bathing to visiting the doctor; a comprehensive
resource database of programs and
services in NYC; and a calendar
of Chapter and caregiver events.
• We produced our quarterly
newsletter which is received by
more than 35,000 readers.
• We created E-News, an e-mail
version of our newsletter which
has 2000 subscribers – with
distribution growing daily.
• As part of the activities surrounding PBS’ airing of The Forgetting,
the Chapter participated in a
panel discussion at the Queens
Borough Library and at Hunter
College School of Social Work.
• Instituted Partnering With Your
Doctor workshops at the Chapter
office and in the community.
• Partnered with Cabrini Medical
Center in the Faith in Action
program and trained volunteers
for home visits to persons with
dementia.
• Worked with the Geriatric Education Consortium in arranging
for and delivering programs on
AD for their participants.
We thank our community partners – the nursing homes, assisted
living residences, care management
organizations, home care agencies,
community centers, hospitals, day
care programs and others for their
invaluable support of our work.
