The general increase in life expectancy of the population also led to an increase in the number of people with dementia among people of old age. Dementia is a disease that affects a person's intellectual abilities. This, in turn, leads to memory loss, causes inadequate behavior and other deviations in all spheres of life activity

Alzheimer's disease is the most common and, unfortunately, incurable disease among a number of dementing diseases. Today in Israel the number of patients with this and other similar diseases is 150000 people. 

The heavy work of caring for the sick falls on their families, which sometimes drives the closest relatives to a state of helplessness and despair.

The purpose of the organization is to provide assistance and support to patients and their families. There are 27 branches in Israel, where volunteers work Financing is carried out from the funds of charitable funds, at the expense of donations, membership fees and from other sources.
The Council of Directors of the "Emda" organization is elected by the general assembly, with the participation of the gerontologists' professional union.
