Webinar: Innovations in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Caregiver Support Programs
Innovative Community Strategies
Date: Wednesday, December 7, 2022 – 12:00 PM EDT
Individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid are almost three times as likely to have Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) than individuals eligible for Medicare only [1]. The tools, resources and strategies presented in this webinar will be directly related to the needs of dually eligible individuals and their caregivers.
This event will build upon the information delivered in Resources for Integrated Care’s September 2022 webinar titled: Innovations in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) Caregiver Support Programs: Building and Leveraging Support Systems. This webinar will explore innovative ways that health equity and caregiver support are addressed across ADRD programs supporting dually eligible people living with ADRD. The event speakers will review community-level strategies to promote adequate care for individuals living with ADRD and support for their caregivers.
