Learn about IDCA’s mission to strengthen dementia care through training, education, and community-based programs across Asia. 

Our Story

IDCA was formed to close a simple gap: dementia care is often learned through trial-and-error, even though caregivers and frontline staff need practical, compassionate tools from day one. We develop and deliver education and training that is respectful, accessible, and grounded in real caregiving contexts.

Our Mission

To strengthen dementia care across Asia through education, training, and community-based programs that improve quality of life for people living with dementia and those who care for them.

Our Vision

A region where people living with dementia are supported with dignity—and caregivers are trained, confident, and not alone.

Our Values

I — Integrity
Ethical practice, honest communication, and trustworthiness in training and partnerships.

D — Development
We build capabilities: caregivers, teams, systems, and communities become more competent over time.

C — Collaboration
We work with families, professionals, LGUs, and partners—dementia care is a shared responsibility.

A — Advocacy
We champion awareness, inclusion, and better policies that support people living with dementia and caregivers.
