SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP) is authorized through Sections 398, 399 and 399A of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended by Public Law 101-557 Home Health Care and Alzheimer's Disease Amendments of 1990. The ADSSP helps state efforts to expand the availability of community-level supportive services for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers, including underserved populations. In compliance with the PHS Act, ACL revised an ADSSP Data Reporting Tool (ADSSP-DRT) in 2010. The ADSSP-DRT collects information about the delivery of direct services by ADSSP state grantees, as well as basic demographic information about service recipients. This version includes some revisions to the approved 2010 version. The revised version would be in effect beginning 8/31/2013 and thereafter.

The proposed FY2013 ADSSP-DRT can be found on AoA's Web site at: http://www.aoa.gov/​AoARoot/​AoA_​Programs/​HPW/​Alz_​Grants/​docs/​ADSSP_​DataCollectionReportingForm_​proposed.xls.
