Our Story

A Decade of Dedication to Dementia Care

Established in 2014, the Lanka Dementia & Alzheimer Association (LDAA) began with a simple yet powerful vision: to ensuring that no one in Sri Lanka has to face dementia alone.

What started as a small support group has grown into a national authority, collaborating with the Ministry of Health and international bodies like Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI). We have trained over 500+ caregivers and supported thousands of families across the island.

Today, we stand at the forefront of geriatric mental health, driving innovation in care facilities and home-based support systems.

"Dignity in every moment."
