Unpublished Document

This resource created by the CDC and Alzheimer's Association offers an overview of the challenges of caregiving for people living with dementia. It also provides state, local, and tribal public health leaders with a framework and resources for action regarding an initiative. Implementation of these 360-degree plans would ideally result in widespread availability and use of caregiver supports, improved service coordination, and a firm commitment to caregiving throughout healthcare systems, workplaces, and communities.
