from the Maryland Department of Aging
As Alzheimer’s and other dementias affect more older adults in Maryland, it’s essential to strengthen policies and resources for comprehensive care and support.
Early detection is key, and the free AD8: Washington University Dementia Screening Test is now available on Maryland Access Point (MAP) to help identify signs of cognitive decline. Individuals, caregivers, and health care providers can access AD8 at marylandaccesspoint.211md.org, with trained MAP counselors ready to assist.
Maryland’s Caregiver Navigation Grant initiative further supports families by improving access to resources, guiding care decisions, and providing essential dementia care information. Visit MDOA’s Brain Health page for more details at aging.maryland.gov.
