An Act establishing the Alzheimer's, Dementia and Related Disorders Office and the Alzheimer's, Dementia and Related Disorders Advisory Committee.

SB 840 establishes a new Office of Alzheimer's, Dementia and Related Disorders within the Pennsylvania Department of Aging to coordinate state efforts for individuals affected by these conditions. The office is tasked with developing a state plan, managing grants to improve dementia care capabilities, and conducting regular reviews of service gaps and scientific advancements. To guide these initiatives, the bill creates an advisory committee composed of representatives from healthcare providers, patient advocates, legal experts, and other stakeholders to provide input on policy and implementation. This committee meets to review progress, approve plan amendments, and ensure the state's approach remains responsive to emerging needs in Alzheimer's and dementia care.
