The goal of this program is to provide relief to unpaid caregivers of individuals with probable ADRD that achieve the following outcomes:

• Increased use of dementia-specific respite by family caregivers
• Family caregiver self-reported ability to maintain their caregiving role while maintaining their own health
• Increased quality of life of people with probable dementia

Applications should describe how they plan to reach target populations, including those in rural areas.
