For more than a decade, Alperin Law & Wealth has stood alongside the Alzheimer's Association — not as an occasional sponsor, but as a long-term partner in one of the most important fights of our time. Scott Alperin has served as a board member of the Alzheimer's Association, and the firm's commitment to this cause has only deepened over the years as we've watched it touch more and more of the families we serve.
That commitment is personal. It's also professional. Our Life Care Planning practice exists specifically to help families navigate the legal, financial, and caregiving challenges that come with aging and cognitive decline. Over ten years of working alongside this organization, we've seen firsthand what early planning means for families facing this disease — and what the absence of it costs them.
Supporting the Alzheimer's Association is one of the most meaningful ways we show up beyond the office. Their mission — to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia through research, risk reduction, early detection, and quality care — aligns directly with everything we stand for. Each year, our team is proud to contribute to the fundraising efforts that make this work possible.
Local Resources Through the Southeastern Virginia Chapter
Right here in Hampton Roads, the impact of this disease is staggering. More than 165,000 Virginians are living with Alzheimer's, and 346,000 caregivers provide an estimated 670 million hours of unpaid care each year. The Southeastern Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association exists to meet those families where they are — with free, local resources that make a real difference.
If you or someone you love is navigating an Alzheimer's or dementia diagnosis, the chapter offers:
Caregiver Support Groups — Free in-person and virtual groups led by trained facilitators, providing a safe space to share experiences, learn caregiving tips, and connect with others on the same journey.
Early-Stage Engagement Groups & Memory Cafes — Social groups for individuals living with a diagnosis and their care partners, offering a welcoming environment to connect and participate in activities together.
Education Programs — Workshops, seminars, and programs to help families understand the disease, navigate care decisions, and plan for the road ahead.
24/7 Helpline — Free, confidential support from dementia experts any time of day or night, available in more than 200 languages. Call 800.272.3900.
ALZConnected & My Alz Journey App — Free online community and mobile app offering personalized support, resources, and connection for people living with dementia and their caregivers.
All services through the Southeastern Virginia Chapter are free of charge. To find a support group near you, visit alz.org/seva or call the 24/7 Helpline.
Walk to End Alzheimer's — Coastal Virginia
Each year, the Alperin Law & Wealth team participates in the Walk to End Alzheimer's, one of the world's largest fundraising events for Alzheimer's care, support, and research. In 2026, we'll be walking on October 24th as part of the Coastal Virginia Walk — and we'd love for you to join us.
Whether you walk with our team, make a donation in honor of someone you love, or simply share our page with a friend or family member touched by this disease, every contribution moves us closer to a world without Alzheimer's.
