This guide was created by the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Connecticut Department of Aging and Disability Services (ADS) as part of an effort by the Connecticut ADRD Coalition, a committed group of professionals and volunteers from all over CT. This guide was adapted with permission from the original Washington Dementia Roadmap and Oregon Dementia Roadmap to fit the needs of Connecticut residents. Many thanks to our colleagues from the west!
Funding to support adaptation and printing of the guide was supported, in part, by Cooperative Agreement # 5 NU58DP007496 funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Grantees undertaking projects under government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions.
