The Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Respite Support Program has made respite funds available through June 30, 2003. Eligible recipients – caregivers and people with Alzheimer’s Disease – must live at the same address in the state of New Hampshire.

According to Ellen Curelop, the program’s administrator, these funds provide for assisted respite and related services for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders, as well as for their caregivers who live with and care for them. Funds up to $1,200 per person are available, depending on need. Applications are being accepted immediately, as funds become available for a three-month period beginning April 1.

Respite care services may be provided in the individual’s home, in adult day-care respite settings, nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, or supported residential care facilities.
