BILL NUMBER:S3968
Title of bill
An act to amend the elder law, in relation to establishing a dementia and Alzheimer's disease program database
Purpose
This bill would create a program database on the State Office for the Aging website with up-to-date information on program, methodologies and services provided statewide for persons suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends the Elder Law to provide the Dementia and Alzheimers's disease program database. The director, in conjunction with the Commissioner of Health, shall develop criteria to determine if a program is successful to be included in the database. The database shall be accessible to the public on the State Office for the Aging website and shall include but not be limited to names and contact information for programs; description of programs; and the geographic location in which the program is provided or offered.
Section 2 provides for the effective date.
Justification
There are many programs across the state that are designed to assist and support individuals with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Innovative ideas are implemented at the local level, but it is difficult for groups in other areas of the state to find out about them. Information about these innovative and successful programs should be available so that their success can be replicated in other areas.
