To be eligible for care consultation services with Project CARE, the care recipients must have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or another related dementia. Related dementias might include Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular Dementia, and Frontotemporal Dementia. In addition, adult caregivers must recognize they can benefit from care consultation.

While there are no requirements on income, the program gives priority to those individuals who may be underserved; persons with low incomes, minorities, or living in very rural areas. There are no age requirements for care recipients or caregivers.

Caregivers of persons receiving NC Medicaid CAP/DA Waiver are not eligible to also receive care consultation assistance. However, Project CARE can provide dementia education, training, and referral to other community based services. Caregivers of persons on a wait list for enrollment into CAP/DA can be served.
