Description:
This program was developed by the Wisconsin state legislature in 1985 in response to the needs of families caring for someone with an irreversible dementia. Grant funding is available to eligible families to help with the cost of services and supplies needed to keep someone with dementia at home. Examples include respite care, home care services, home safety modifications, incontinence supplies, wandering programs, certain prescription medications, and more. To be eligible to enroll, a household must have an annual income of $48,000 or less (if over, certain expenses can be deducted to adjust income), and the person must have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or a related irreversible dementia. If you’re interested in this opportunity, contact our office to learn more or schedule an appointment to complete the enrollment paperwork.
