The Wisconsin Alzheimer's Family Care Giver Support Program is delivered through the (ADRC) Aging and Disability Resource Centers under the administration of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
If you are home with an elder diagnosed with dementia and have an annual income under 48 thousand dollars you can go to the Aging and Disability Resource Center and ask for a Benefit Specialist to help. The Benefit Specialist will document:
- you are caring for someone with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or Dementia
- the person you are helping lives in the home setting - not a facility
- your gross income is 48 thousand dollars or less after deducting the costs related to the care of a person with dementia
Part of this benefit is to connect you with greater resources in the community. Home Care Path is constructing a multisided platform designed to help match families with dementia needs to local support partners who can give the primary care giver a much needed break.
Take a first peek https://www.homecarepathdementiasupport.com/en/infos/about at the open structure designed to strengthen a families access to the help they need in real time. Families can list their need and support partners can list their availability. This concise application exists to save families precious time and resources they so desperately need to effectively care for their loved one.
