Dementia Care Specialist

The mission of the Dementia Care Specialist Program is to support people with dementia and their caregivers in order to ensure the highest quality of life possible while living at home. In order to accomplish this mission, the Dementia Care Specialists (DCSs) have four goals:       

  •  
    1. Provide free information and assistance to adults with memory or cognitive concerns, or who have been given a dementia diagnosis.
    2. Provide information and support to family members and friends who are caregivers.
    3. Help develop dementia-friendly communities where people with dementia can remain active and safe, and caregivers can feel supported.
    4. Train other staff at the ADRCs and other county and municipal offices to be dementia-capable.

Adult Protective Service (APS) Workers

Adult Protective Service (APS) workers serve those 18 years and older who are vulnerable or have a disability.  APS serves those who need assistance due to abuse, neglect, self-neglect, and financial exploitation.  If you or someone you know may need assistance, please contact us. Your referral can remain confidential.

Disability Benefit Specialist (DBS) and Elder Benefit Specialists (EBS)

Disability Benefit Specialists (DBS) and Elder Benefit Specialists (EBS) can provide you with accurate information about private and government benefits and programs that you may be entitled to.
