The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Administration for Community Living (ACL) today announced the release of $1.1 billion in funding and new grant opportunities to provide critical services to older adults, people with disabilities, and their family caregivers — especially during Older Americans Month.

This presentation will showcase the work of two dementia programs that made significant adaptations to their original outreach, recruitment, and partnership plans to support the uptake of their community dementia programs.

Rebecca Utz, Ph.D., and members of her team from the University of Utah will describe the results from a five-year National Institute on Aging-funded study to develop and test a respite-focused intervention, Time for Living and Caring (TLC). The TLC app was designed to support caregivers by helping them plan for their own respite time.

Join the ACL-funded National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC) for their upcoming webinar, which, in a panel format, will highlight the intersection of careers in supporting people living with dementia and caregivers — and the ways their personal experiences as dementia caregivers have informed this work.

Every March, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) and its partners collaborate to lead Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (DDAM), an annual campaign highlighting how people with and without disabilities form strong communities together.

The 2025 theme, Flip the Script on Aging, focuses on transforming how society perceives, talks about, and approaches aging. It encourages individuals and communities to challenge stereotypes and dispel misconceptions. This year, join us in honoring older adults’ contributions, exploring the many opportunities for staying active and engaged as we age, and highlighting the opportunities for purpose, exploration, and connection that come with aging.
