Hawaii Vision: To strengthen and expand the circle of care supporting persons living with memory loss and their caregivers by providing effective person- and family-centered dementia-capable programs, services and resources to help them remain independent and safe in their communities.
The goals and objectives of our grant are:
To deliver evidence-based behavior symptom management training and expert consultation to unpaid or family caregivers of persons living with dementia to relieve caregiver stress and burden.
To develop and deliver supportive services to persons living alone with memory loss.
To improve the quality and effectiveness of programs and services dedicated to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities at increased risk for dementia as they age.
To empower and educate the public and workforce about dementia, brain health and risk factors, and becoming Dementia Friends.
