Alzheimer's Association grant supports new respite program in Pittsburgh

In 2023, the Alzheimer's Association was awarded a $25 million grant to enhance respite services for dementia caregivers nationwide. This grant established the Center for Dementia Respite Innovation (CDRI) to fund community-based respite programs to develop and improve the delivery of person-centered dementia care.

With funding granted by the CDRI, Vintage Center for Active Adults, a Greater Pennsylvania Chapter program partner and Familylinks, Inc. established Vintage Connections -- a Pittsburgh-based day respite program for adults 60+ with early memory loss.

We are proud to be part of the estabishment of such a program that will make a real difference in the lives of people living with cognitive decline.
