Who can receive the grant?
The grant will be offered first to new grant recipients (those who have not received this grant before) for the first half of the grant year (July 1 – December 31, 2011), and then if funds are available we will open it up to previous recipients (January 1 – June 30, 2012).

- Has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia
- Lives in Arkansas in their own home, with family or in an assisted living facility
- Does not receive the same type of service from any other source including, but not limited to private insurance, Medicaid, ElderChoices, Supplemental Security Income, Medicare, or hospice.
How much is the grant?
$250.00 from the date the grant is approved, you will have ninety (90) days to use the funds or you will lose the grant. Grants are limited to funds available.
How can I use the grant?
- In-home care
- Adult day care
- Temporary facility care
- Home care supplies such as diapers, pads and Ensure or Boost
- Home modifications, such as grab bars or wheelchair ramp
- Legal services

The grant may NOT be used for such things as medications, utility bills or home repairs.
How can I apply?

- The application will be reviewed and you will receive an approval letter. The grant will NOT pay for services before the approval date.
