24 Miss. Code. R. § 2-25.1 - Alzheimer's Day Services
A. The key elements
of Alzheimer's Day Services are community-based services designed to meet the
needs of adults with physical and psychosocial impairments, including memory
loss, through individualized care plans. These structured, nonresidential
services provide a variety of social and related support services in a safe
setting. Alzheimer's Day Services include Alzheimer's Respite Services.
Alzheimer's Day Services operate up to eight (8) hours per day, five (5) days
per week. Alzheimer's Respite Services operate up to twenty (20) hours per week
with operating times to be determined by the agency provider. Alzheimer's Day
Services focus on the strengths and abilities of people served by the agency
provider and optimizing the health of the people. Alzheimer's Day Services
provide a structured environment for people with Alzheimer's disease and
related dementia; counseling for family members and/or other caregivers;
education and training for people providing services to those with Alzheimer's
disease and related dementia and also to family members and/or caregivers; and,
respite. By supporting families and caregivers, Alzheimer's Day Services enable
people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia to live in the
community.
B. Alzheimer's Day
Services provide services for adults with physical and psychosocial
impairments, who require supervision, including:
1. People who have few or inadequate support
systems.
2. People who require
assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).
3. People with memory loss and other
cognitive impairment(s) resulting from Alzheimer's and other dementia that
interfere with daily functioning.
4. People who require assistance in
overcoming the isolation associated with functional limitations or
disabilities.
5. People whose
families and/or caregivers need respite.
6. People who, without intervention, are at
risk of premature long-term placement outside the home because of memory loss
and/or other cognitive impairment(s).
