Long-term care (LTC) is a range of services and supports you may need to meet your personal care needs. At some point in our lives, about 60 percent of us will need assistance with things like getting dressed, driving to appointments, or making meals. Planning is critical, but many people are not sure what is covered by insurance, and people are often misinformed about what is covered by Medicare.

New Mexico Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (NM ADRC)
The New Mexico ADRC’s mission is to understand vascular and inflammatory contributions to Alzheimer’s and cerebrovascular diseases in underrepresented minority groups in New Mexico.
About the NM ADRC
The New Mexico Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (NM ADRC), funded by the National Institute of Health, is located at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNM HSC). It is a partnership between UNM HSC, UNM Main Campus, Mind Research Network, and several urban and tribal communities across New Mexico. The primary goal of NM ADRC is to establish partnerships with different communities across New Mexico and provide opportunities for members of different communities to participate in clinical research to assess their risk for AD and related dementias. The observational studies of the NM ADRC recruit subjects from diverse populations, specifically from Hispanic/Latinos and American Indians from urban and rural communities, and determine their dementia risk by performing comprehensive clinical assessments, neuroimaging, fluid-based biomarkers, and neuropathological analyses. We have expertise in determining the vascular and inflammatory contributions to dementia risk based on state-of-the-art data analytics. Our Center also aims to assess various social determinants of health and metabolic markers on dementia risk, serve as a resource for local and state-wide researchers interested in AD/ADRD research, and train the next generation of dementia workforce in New Mexico. Finally, our Center also aims to develop vaccines for dementia, which may help prevent cognitive impairment and memory loss.
