Alzheimer’s Disease Program Initiative (ADPI)
The purpose of the Alzheimers Disease Program Initiative (ADPI) is to work at state and community levels to develop and expand the availability of dementia-capable supports and services for persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), their families, and their caregivers. Funded programs will bring dementia capability to the communities they serve through expansion of existing home and community based service systems. ADPI programs include dementia-capable direct services and supports, translation and implementation of evidence based interventions designed to improve the lives of persons with dementia and their caregivers, as well as dementia specific training for formal and informal caregivers. All funded initiatives will include robust, outcome-based evaluations designed to demonstrate program impact and support future translation successful program components.
