Project Description:
Maintaining 8 dementia specific day service programs in Palm Beach and Martin Counties. Programs are specifically designed for Alzheimer's Disease and related disorder patients that qualify under Alzheimer's Disease Initiative program administered by FDOE. Funds will be used for patients who cannot afford daycare expenses and for care management duties in accordance with ADI guidelines. Funds will directly support expenses, including salaries and will not be used for rent, construction or administrative costs.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
650 patients will be served and receive dementia specific care through the eight daycare programs. All participants will be registered with the Nat'l Alzheimer's Assoc. Safe Return Bracelet Program; receive daily personal care, medically monitored daily by nurses who specialize in dementia specific behavior and health care and receive therapeutic activities. Program will delay premature institutionalization by 2 to 4 years. Family members will receive education, have access to weekly support group and have information and resources about the disease through ACC's information and referral service. Patients and community will have access to options that are humane and dignified which is a hallmark service for Palm Beach and Martin Counties.
