Bill > LB913

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to appoint a dementia services coordinator, who will act as a central point for families affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias to find support services and resources. This coordinator will provide information, counseling, and education, and will also be responsible for collecting data on the impact of these diseases, evaluating needs, recommending strategies for service coordination, and monitoring the state's plan to address these needs. Additionally, the coordinator will advocate for necessary policies and funding, promote dementia-specific training to improve care access, and organize community stakeholders to find solutions. This initiative is part of the Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementia Support Act, and it repeals the original section of law that is being amended.
