Welcome to the M·A·S Society of Bad Ischl, Austria 
In the following pages we present an integrated overview of subjects related to the Morbus Alzheimer Syndrome - including the clinical description, early diagnostic measures, therapy, support, relief and educational concepts.
The goal of the M·A·S (Morbus Alzheimer Syndrome) Society is to provide support and helpful information to those who suffer from Alzheimer's disease and their caregiving relatives.

The M·A·S Society was founded in 1997 as a non-profit organization for interdisciplinary gerontology, to provide support and care for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and their families. The society views itself as a promoter for the progressive and appropriate care of dementia patients by involving their families and their social environment. It also serves as a partner for caregivers, providing competent information and resources. Furthermore, the society develops practice-oriented concepts which allow dementia patients and their relatives to once again experience quality of life and joy of living.
All projects and services of this society are provided as a supplement to those of federal and private social organizations. Since the founding of M·A·S, these projects have been applied with great success. The society is a charitable, non-profit and politically independent organization. All members of the board provide their services free of charge.

The goals of the M·A·S Society are divided into four areas:

  • Development of interdisciplinary care concepts for dementia patients - new concepts are tested in scientific studies and implemented in practice.
  • Relief programs and support concepts - for relatives and patients.
  • Initial and continuing education – for nurses, relatives and other interested parties.
  • Organization of international scientific conferences and events - for interdisciplinary discourse - next date: September 20-22, 2006.
