Als Center & Research At Ucsf

For more than 40 years, FCA has provided services to family caregivers of adults with physical and cognitive impairments, such as Parkinson's, stroke, Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. Our services include assessment, care planning, direct care skills, wellness programs, respite services, and legal/financial consultation vouchers.

Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) serves as the Bay Area Caregiver Resource Center, one of 11 Caregiver Resource Centers throughout California. In this role, we offer free and low-cost services in the greater San Francisco Bay Area to help you provide the best possible care while also focusing on your own health and well being.

This is an unmoderated group for families, partners, and other caregivers who want a safe place to discuss the stresses, challenges, and rewards of providing care for adults with disorders such as Alzheimer's, stroke, brain injury, and other chronic debilitating health conditions. Meets online via Zoom twice monthly.

Our Services by State tool helps family caregivers locate public, nonprofit, and private programs and services nearest their loved one-whether they are living at home or in a residential facility. Resources include government health and disability programs, legal resources, disease-specific organizations and more.

Below is a list of surveys, studies and clinical trials focused on caregiving families dealing with chronic disabling health conditions, and health and service providers. Study volunteers are needed by researchers to determine whether experimental treatments or new ways of using known therapies are safe and effective under controlled environments or to gather data that can expand knowledge and ultimately improve the lives of caregivers.
