Veterans
The Department administers a federal Alzheimer's Disease Demonstration Grant awarded by the US Administration on Aging - the Veterans Caregiver Project. The purpose of this award is to enhance and expand our current service delivery system to include caregivers of veterans with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, as well as veterans caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The initiative includes two evidence-based program components: STAR-C and Savvy Caregiver. A statewide Alzheimer's Disease Advisory Group has been established to identify service gaps and evaluate and recommend service enhancements.
