As you may know, I am an Alzheimer's Advocate and have been sharing my young voice for many years! Hopefully this bill will be granted! This bill authorizes grants to increase support and training services for caregivers and families of individuals living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. Also the department of Human Services may award these grants to community organizations and health care and social service providers.
