View Award Description

Cooley Dickinson Hospital CareConnect: Advancing Dementia Care and Community Support for People Living with ADRD and Caregivers throughout Hampshire County in western Massachusetts. - Cooley Dickinson Hospital (CDH) CareConnect is a proposed three-year program led by the Pioneer Valley Memory Care Initiative (PVMCI), designed to scale and enhance the dementia-capable home- and community-based system (HCBS) of services and supports throughout Hampshire County in western Massachusetts. The goal of strengthening our innovative HCBS system is to improve quality of life and increase independence for the steadily increasing number of people in our region living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers. CareConnect will address current gaps in services by enhancing specialized direct services for (1) people living alone with ADRD, (2) people living with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and ADRD, and (3) caregivers of people living with dementia. For over six years, PVMCI’s memory care specialists have provided compassionate, home-based care coordination, caregiver coaching, dementia education, referrals, and connections to community-based services to almost 600 people, representing 300 households. Overall results are positive: PVMCI is improving quality of life and helping to stabilize caregiver stress. Building on this foundation, CareConnect will expand dementia-capable services for people living alone with ADRD, people aging with IDD and ADRD, and caregivers with the greatest unmet needs. CareConnect offers a cost-effective model that leverages existing resources across Hampshire County and positions PVMCI as a single point of connection for families navigating ADRD. Through targeted partnerships, training, education, and direct services, CareConnect will help build a more dementia-friendly system of accessible and responsive community services. By advancing an innovative, community-based model tailored to smaller communities, CareConnect will help families remain safely at home, strengthen social connections, and improve health and well-being.
