Grant Program supports Alzheimer's caregiver respite
A Kansas grant funds respite care to ease the burden on Alzheimer’s caregivers. Officials note rising cases, with 64 000 statewide probable cases in 2000 and about 578 in Finney County, and stress 24 hour duties, health risks, and the need for relief when budgets and insurance limit coverage. The Administration on Aging grant of about 300 000 dollars for 2003 2004 funds outreach, two new staffers, and caregiver conferences including a May 28 event in Garden City.
