RD221 - 2007 Report of the Virginia Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Commission


Executive Summary:
The Virginia Commission on Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders advises the Commonwealth on the care of persons with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia due to other causes, and how to assist caregivers of such persons. This is an enormous constituency, which represents one of the largest consumers of state Medicaid resources.

Acting in its advisory capacity, the Commission recommends actions to enhance Virginia’s ability to effectively and efficiently serve the relevant constituencies. Specific short and long term recommendations are included in the report.
