Associació de Familiars i Malalts d'Alzheimer i altres demències d'Osona (AFMADO)

Support for people and families affected by dementia

Associació de Familiars i Malalts d'Alzheimer i altres demències d'Osona (AFMADO) is a nonprofit founded in 2013 to support people affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias, their families, and caregivers. Its headquarters are at 12 Carrer Doctor Junyent in Vic, in the Osona region.

Family and caregiver services

• A place for families to get guidance and answers.
• A caregiver space for sharing experiences and learning skills and resources to improve interactions with the person in their care, reduce emotional and psychological stress, and prevent difficult situations.
• Individual support when needed.
• One-on-one information sessions.
• Cognitive-stimulation activities supervised by a psychologist.
• Public awareness about dementia.

Community connections

AFMADO holds public events, including its general membership meeting and the opening of a new Espai Respir respite space in late 2025. It works with Vic's Xarxa de Cures care network and the ASHES association. Community fundraisers supporting its work have included a benefit concert by Utah's Jove Filharmònica in Calldetenes and a charity padel tournament at Aurial Pàdel Vic. Local organizations also make donations.
