About AFATE

Associació de Familiars de Malalts d'Alzheimer de les Terres de l'Ebre (AFATE) is a nonprofit that has spent 20 years supporting and improving care for people with Alzheimer’s and their families across the Terres de l'Ebre region. Its work focuses on quality of life for people with the disease and the people who care for them.

AFATE provides three types of direct support:

• Social support: Information, guidance, and advice about resources available through AFATE and other services.
• Legal support: Information and answers to legal questions that arise during the course of the disease.
• Psychological support: Individual sessions and mutual-support groups.
