What AFA Aljarafe - Asociacion Familiares Alzheimer del Aljarafe does

AFA Aljarafe (Asociación de Familiares de Enfermos de Alzheimer y otras Demencias del Aljarafe) is a Spanish non-profit association founded in 2005 and headquartered at Calle Conde de Barcelona 75 - B, San Juan de Aznalfarache, Sevilla. It provides cognitive stimulation therapy, neuropsychological assessment, patient care, and family caregiver support to people affected by Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases in the Aljarafe region of Sevilla province. Core service lines include personalized Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (Terapia de Estimulación Cognitiva), Atención al Paciente (patient care with neuropsychological assessment and sociocultural workshops), and Apoyo a Familiares (psychological support, disease counseling, and social resource orientation such as dependency and disability benefits). A supplementary 'Taller Cuidándonos para cuidar' workshop targets caregiver burnout, alongside Formación (training) programs and the 'Impúlsate Cuidándoles' socio-labor insertion initiative.

Service delivery spans in-center sessions at the San Juan de Aznalfarache headquarters (Monday–Friday, 9:00–14:00), in-home visits for mobility-limited patients, and remote care via the HomeCognitiva online cognitive stimulation platform and 30-minute telematic information sessions. A satellite network of Memory Information Points (Puntos de Información sobre la Memoria) in Bormujos and Bollullos de la Mitación provides community outreach and orientation. The association operates 15 years post-founding with 130 members (socios), 101 patients actively receiving therapy, and 40 volunteers supporting operations.

The business model is a community-based non-profit revenue mix: recurring annual member fees, donations via Bizum (code 10735), PayPal, and bank transfer (La Caixa account ES03 2100 8089 19 2200249856), and institutional funding from Junta de Andalucía, Ayuntamiento de San Juan de Aznalfarache, Ayuntamiento de Bormujos, and private foundations including Fundación Ebro, La Caixa, and Fundación Telefónica. Customer segments are two primary B2C groups — diagnosed patients requiring cognitive therapy and predominantly female family caregivers (84% under 65 years) requiring psychological and social support. Marketing relies on community word-of-mouth, partnerships with local government, an awareness blog, organic social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), and awareness campaigns such as the #RETATUMENTE initiative with Fundación Telefónica. GDPR compliance is maintained.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• AFA Madrid: Major Spanish Alzheimer's family association serving Madrid region. Comparable nonprofit operating model with cognitive stimulation services, family support, and institutional funding relationships, but at significantly larger scale in a different geography.
• Fundación Alzheimer España (FAE): Spain-based nonprofit providing information, support, and advocacy for Alzheimer's families. Closely comparable nonprofit model targeting the same patient and caregiver population through support services and educational resources.
• AFA Sevilla: Alzheimer family association operating in the broader Sevilla province. Offers similar cognitive stimulation therapy, family support, and memory information points, directly competing for the same regional donor and patient pool as AFA Aljarafe.

Emerging players

• Qida: Spanish home care services platform specializing in elderly care including dementia patients. Comparable target population and home-based service delivery, but operates as a commercial entity rather than a nonprofit association.
• Neuronup: Spain-based commercial digital platform offering cognitive stimulation and neurorehabilitation tools for professional and home use. Directly competes with AFA Aljarafe's HomeCognitiva offering and represents the digital threat to traditional in-person cognitive therapy services.
• Centro de Investigación y Terapias Avanzadas (CITA Alzheimer): Spanish research-oriented center focused on Alzheimer's prevention and cognitive therapy. Overlaps with AFA Aljarafe in the cognitive stimulation therapy domain but with a stronger research and clinical positioning, potentially a future partner or competitor for therapy services.

Broad incumbents

• CogniFit: Global commercial digital cognitive training and assessment platform used by clinicians and consumers. Represents a broader incumbent in cognitive stimulation that competes with AFA Aljarafe's online cognitive stimulation services at national and international scale.
• CEAFA - Confederación Española de Alzheimer: National umbrella organization coordinating all AFA (Alzheimer's family associations) across Spain. Directly comparable mission of supporting Alzheimer's families, with a broader national mandate that contextualizes AFA Aljarafe's regional operations.
