Direct peers

• Alzheimer Valais / Alzheimer Wallis: Fellow cantonal Alzheimer association in Valais; cited as the inspiration for Alzheimer Vaud's 'après-midi jeux' program. Offers directly comparable cantonal-level dementia support, counseling, and caregiver services.
• Alzheimer Genève: Neighboring cantonal Alzheimer association serving Geneva; runs the same mix of support groups, counseling, caregiver training, and home-respite services for dementia-affected families.
• Association Alzheimer Fribourg: Fellow cantonal Alzheimer association in Fribourg; delivers the same core combination of counseling, peer support groups, caregiver training, and adapted activities for people with neurocognitive disorders.

Broad incumbents

• Alzheimer Suisse: National Swiss federation of cantonal Alzheimer associations; Alzheimer Vaud is an explicit member and coordinates with it on programs and member data. Operates broader federated activities across Switzerland.
• Spitex Vaud: Cantonal home-care services association that Alzheimer Vaud coordinates with and partially overlaps in providing in-home personal care and respite for elderly and disabled clients in Vaud.
• Pro Senectute Vaud: Cantonal branch of Switzerland's largest elderly-services non-profit; operates in Vaud with overlapping services for seniors (counseling, day programs, social engagement) and competes for the same donor and volunteer pool.
• Croix-Rouge suisse: Swiss Red Cross operates cantonal home-help, accompaniment, and family-respite services that overlap directly with Alzami Pro and dementia caregiver support offerings.

Emerging players

• Caritas Vaud: Cantonal Caritas chapter providing social assistance, family support, and services for vulnerable elderly; competes for donor funding and offers partial overlap with caregiver-support services.

Others

• Fondation Alzheimer Suisse: Foundational arm of the Swiss Alzheimer federation that funds dementia research and awareness; while not a service provider, it is a key ecosystem partner and potential funding source for cantonal associations like Alzheimer Vaud.

Regional players

• Alzheimer France: France's national federation of regional Alzheimer associations; serves as a comparable non-profit model with very similar service portfolio (support groups, training, home respite) — relevant as a thematic/structural peer rather than a direct competitor.
