Nebraska Initial State Plan For Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care Focuses On Promoting Education For Informal & Unpaid Caregivers

Nebraska’s first State Plan For Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias calls for the state to promote and guide informal and unpaid caregivers to free training options and to make sure caregiver support is available. The goal is to ensure that people diagnosed with dementia and their families understand legal and financial issues, as well as health information on how the various types of dementia progress. The plan also calls for developing a Nebraska Dementia-Friendly Endorsement for quality standards plus new training tools for health care and direct care professionals working directly with people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s . . .
