disentangleAD non-profit support of Alzheimer's care in south Mississippi Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can be devastating for both individuals and families.

As AD destroys personal memories, the sense of self slowly disintegrates. Friends and family (caregivers) often suffer from significant distress, depression, and exacerbation of their own health problems due to the overwhelming strain of caring for a loved one with AD. While medical science searches for disease-modifying therapies, improved diagnostic biomarkers, and hopefully an ultimate cure, we believe that more can be done to help relieve a small portion of this burden. To [disənˈtaNGɡ(ə)l] is to extricate something or someone from a difficult situation. Our vision is for disentangleAD to become an organization that helps ease the burden of AD for residents in the Pine Belt region of south Mississippi. Our goal is to provide mini-grants designated for small, well-defined, time-limited needs associated with caring for an individual with AD.
