| Description |
Project C.A.R.E. uses a family consultant model to provide consumer-directed respite care and comprehensive support to dementia caregivers. Through the integration of dementia-capable services and the development of family-centered and caregiver-focused community care networks, Project C.A.R.E. helps create a seamless, coordinated delivery system that is responsive to the needs, values and preferences of Alzheimer's families. The program is implemented at the local level through Family Consultants employed by and/or supported through the local Alzheimer's Association. Expert consultation and technical assistance is provided by the Duke Family Support Program. |
