The USC/Rancho Los Amigos ARCC was established in 1985. Its placement at a
university-affiliated rehabilitation center gave it an early thrust toward improving function, supporting families,
preventing secondary conditions, and utilizing team work as mainstays of care. The program has been successful in
attracting many additional resources: an Ischemic Vascular Disease Program Project, an Adult Day Services Center, the McCarron Alzheimer Center and Endowed Chair, and
state-funded research on caregivers.
Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center
also provides services to patients and their families who don't speak English.
Currently, the staff is able to easily handle Spanish- and Korean-speaking
individuals, making communications among doctors, patients, staff members, and
caregivers much easier for everyone concerned. This makes for better diagnosis,
treatment and recommendations for patients and their family members.
The goals of this ARCC are twofold:
to provide
state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment services to patients with
Alzheimer’s disease and associated dementias; and
to conduct
cross-ethnic/racial research, long-term care giving outcomes, and long-term
patient outcomes.
