The Department of Aging and Community Living Alzheimer’s Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP) is funded by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and is operated by DACL throughout the city. The goal is to train the Senior Service Network (SSN) providers to identify DC residents living with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) and link them to culturally competent, person-centered home and community-based services and support (HCBS).
We are committed to delivering comprehensive home and community-based services through behavior symptom management and expert consultation for DC residents living with ADRD and their family caregivers.
The following programs and supports are designed to support residents living with ADRD.
CityWide Money Management
The Money Management Program (MMP) assists older adults experiencing memory loss with managing their monthly bills. The MMP offers two levels of assistance: hands-on assistance for those seeking support and representative payee services for those in need. The MMP also facilitates citywide educational dialogues.
