    Cal-COMPASS (California Community Program for Alzheimer's Services and Supports) Pilot Program

    Project Description

    The California Department of Aging (CDA), in partnership with seven licensed Alzheimer's Day Programs and Adult Day Health Care centers and an evaluation contractor, is creating a modernized Alzheimer’s community care model. The Cal-COMPASS pilot will serve as a learning laboratory through which to further develop best practices to prevent or delay institutionalization of persons living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, support caregivers, and advance health equity. The sites, along with CDA team members and an evaluation contractor, will help shape the model, collect participant data, and further develop best practices. Cal-COMPASS furthers the recommendations of the Governor’s Task Force on Alzheimer’s Prevention and Preparedness and the Master Plan for Aging.
