The Alzheimer’s Assn. of Ventura County satellite office in Camarillo, which offers support for families in Camarillo and Somis who are caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease, has become popular.

More than 2,500 people in the Camarillo-Somis area have the disease, according to the association. That number is expected to more than triple by the year 2020.

Since the satellite office opened in July, association officials said the facility has served more than 250 Alzheimer’s patients and their families.
