Specialized Dementia Care Program (Assisted Living)

The Specialized Dementia Care Program (SDCP) is a state program offered through assisted living facilities that contract with DSHS to provide specialized care for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. The program covers information for families seeking care, processes for finding participating facilities, alternatives when the program isn't available locally, and provider supports including provider introduction, requirements to become an SDCP provider, continuous quality improvement, dementia-related resources, and required new-administrator orientation training.
