What AFA Puerto_Asociación de Familiares de enfermos de Alzheimer does

AFA Puerto (Asociación de Familiares de Enfermos de Alzheimer y Otras Demencias de El Puerto de Santa María) is a Spanish non-profit association founded in October 1996 to deliver specialized care and support resources for people affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, and their families, in the locality of El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz. It operates a single physical center housing two workshop rooms, a physiotherapy room, a computer room, and a rest area, with branded transport bringing users from nearby stops, and runs programs Monday–Friday from 09:30–14:00.

The core service portfolio comprises the Programa de Atención Personalizada (individual cognitive stimulation, GRADIOR computerized cognitive stimulation, Montessori-method manipulative activities, group sessions, and music therapy for moderate-to-advanced stages) and the Programa 'Actívate' (30 minutes of GRADIOR combined with one hour of physiotherapy for mild cognitive impairment and early-stage patients). Supporting offerings include a transport service, complementary hairdressing and podology, family counseling and psychotherapy (including mutual-aid groups), documentation and subsidy management assistance, external legal advice via a family/disability lawyer, awareness campaigns, caregiver training, and an internship program with universities and vocational centers. The association also operates the Bar x Recuerdos&Café social initiative in partnership with Fundación "la Caixa."

The business model is a hybrid non-profit revenue stack: annual membership fees (socios colaboradores) that grant access to services and carry Spanish tax-deduction benefits (80% on first €250 for individuals, 40–50% for corporates); direct unit-priced service fees for personalized attention, ACTÍVATE, per-session psychotherapy and legal advice; recurring public subsidies from Diputación de Cádiz and Junta de Andalucía for project development; and donations from individuals and businesses. The association has been declared an Entity of Public Utility (BOE, June 13, 2014), is UNE-EN ISO 9001 certified, and is GDPR/LOPDGDD compliant. A multidisciplinary team of approximately 12 staff (psychologist, social educator/director, physiotherapist, workshop monitors, nursing auxiliaries, administrator, driver, cleaner) is supplemented by volunteers, and the organization reports 500+ cases attended, 600 families served, and 160+ workshop participants cumulatively.

Direct peers

• AFALcontigo: Madrid-based Alzheimer's family association providing non-pharmacological therapies, caregiver support, and awareness programs. Direct comparable in service mix and family-association structure, though operating at larger scale and in a different region.
• Fundación Alzheimer España (ALZFAE): Spanish foundation focused on Alzheimer's disease support, training, and caregiver programs. Comparable as a non-profit entity delivering dementia-specific information, family counseling, and therapeutic services to affected individuals.
• CEAFA - Confederación Española de Alzheimer: National confederation of Spanish Alzheimer's family associations. Directly comparable as an umbrella body for the same membership-based, non-profit service model that AFA Puerto operates at the local level, with policy and funding influence across Spain.
• Federación Andaluza de Alzheimer (ConFEAFA): Regional federation of Andalusian Alzheimer's associations. Direct peer at the regional level, representing the same family-of-Alzheimer's non-profit model across Andalusia, the same autonomous community where AFA Puerto operates.

Regional players

• AFA Jerez (Asociación de Familiares de Enfermos de Alzheimer de Jerez): Local Alzheimer's family association in Jerez de la Frontera, also in Cádiz province. Comparable as a nearby peer offering the same non-pharmacological therapy, family support, and membership-based service model within the same catchment region.
• AFA Cádiz (Asociación de Familiares de Enfermos de Alzheimer de Cádiz): Provincial-level Alzheimer's family association serving Cádiz city, in the same province as AFA Puerto. Highly comparable service model (membership-based, non-pharmacological therapies, family support) operating in an adjacent but distinct geography.

Broad incumbents

• Alzheimer's Association (US): Largest US non-profit dedicated to Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Comparable as the global benchmark for the family-association non-profit model AFA Puerto operates, though operating at vastly greater scale, with research funding and 24/7 helpline services.
• Alzheimer's Society (UK): Leading UK dementia charity providing information, support services, and fundraising for research. Comparable as a non-profit dementia support organization offering similar caregiver support, information services, and local-program delivery models.

Others

• Fundación "la Caixa": Major Spanish foundation that co-developed and supports AFA Puerto's 'Bar x Recuerdos&Café' program. Comparable as a strategic funding partner operating elder-care, cognitive impairment, and dementia programs across Spain, enabling rather than competing with AFA Puerto.
