Alzheimer"s Disease Demonstration Grants to States

To expand the availability of diagnostic and support services for persons with Alzheimer"s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), their families, and their caregivers, as well as to improve the responsiveness of the home and community-based care system to persons with dementia.



There
are three types of ADSSP grants: Evidence-based grants require states to demonstrate how existing evidence-based interventions that help people with ADRD and their family caregivers can be translated into effective supportive service programs at the community level.

Innovation grants require states and their partners to explore innovative approaches to improving the delivery of supportive services at the community-level to people with ADRD and their family caregivers.

Dementia capability grants require states to help ensure that people with dementia and their family caregivers have access to a home and community-based services system that identifies those with dementia, ensures that program staff have appropriate dementia care training, and assures delivery of quality services.
