Our Legacy of Excellence in Alzheimer’s Care and Research
For over 40 years, Rancho CADC has provided comprehensive care, innovative research, and professional training. Discover our mission, history, and dedication to Alzheimer’s treatment.
Our mission is to improve health care delivery and quality of life for both patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, as well as their families and caregivers.
The Rancho/University of Southern California (USC-Rancho Los Amigos) CADC was established in 1985 as one of the original State of California Alzheimer’s Disease Centers (CADC). In over 40 years, we have cared for over 5000+ patients with memory disorders.
Housed on Los Angeles County’s nationally renowned Rancho de Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center campus, we are a Center of Excellence within the LA County Department of Public Health system.
Our center is CLOSELY affiliated with the USC Memory and Aging Center and the USC Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. We refer patients to clinical trials for new Alzheimer’s treatments and diagnostics. We also collaborate with researchers at the USC School of Gerontology, Department of Psychology, and School of Pharmacy, referring patients to studies on aging and mental health. Depending on your interest and eligibility, you may be invited to participate in these studies.
Since 1985, we have trained hundreds of professionals and students through:
- Fellowships
- Residencies
- Internships
- Rotations
- Clerkships
- Continuing medical education courses
- Academic classes
- Lectures
- Presentations
