View Award Description

West Virginia will open supervised group day programs for people living with dementia at senior centers in rural counties that have none, giving family caregivers a scheduled break. - The West Virginia Bureau of Senior Services is the State Unit on Aging. It proposes a three-year project to give family caregivers a safe place to bring a loved one living with dementia for the day. West Virginia has one of the nation’s four oldest populations and is among the most rural. An estimated 38,000 residents 65 and older live with Alzheimer’s disease, and about 65,000 family members care for them. The state runs in-home dementia respite in every county. What it lacks is group or congregate respite. One licensed medical adult day care center serves the state, and only four senior centers run a supervised group program. The Bureau will open dementia-specific congregate respite at sixteen senior center sites in rural counties, within Title III-E of the Older Americans Act. The person living with dementia gets an engaging place to spend the day, and the caregiver gets a dependable break of eight hours a week. Sites will open in four groups of four, each with six months of paid start-up followed by a funded operating year. The grant will pay for room furnishings, activity supplies, advertising, dementia training for every worker, and the respite hours at ten dollars per participant-hour. Over three years it will deliver 33,120 participant-hours of dementia-specific respite, train 64 respite workers, and serve 80 family caregivers. An independent evaluator will report what makes a rural congregate site survive. The period of performance runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029.
