Florida Alzheimer's Disease Initiative (ADI)¶
The Florida Alzheimer's Disease Initiative (ADI), administered by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) through Area Agencies on Aging, provides support services specifically for family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia disorders. Services include in-home respite care, caregiver training and education, case management, support groups, supplemental supplies (incontinence products, nutritional supplements), adult day care, and emergency respite. The program targets moderate-to-low income families who cannot afford private dementia care.

Respite care includes in-home care, facility-based care, emergency respite care, and extended care up to 30 days. Caregiver support services include case management, specialized medical equipment and supplies, caregiver counseling and support groups, and caregiver training and relief. The program also operates Memory Disorder Clinics across Florida for diagnostic and referral services.
