To be eligible for the program, participants must:

• Be 18 years of age or older
• Need day health services a minimum of two days a week
• Have a personal physician or primary health care provider in the community

Tuition

The cost of participation in the Alzheimer's Center is primarily the responsibility of the family or participant. However, Medicaid, as well as the Veteran's Administration, does cover Alzheimer's day care. In addition, some home care agencies and some limited insurance coverage provide support to families.

Alzheimer's Program Tuition Aid

The Sinai Alzheimer's Scholarship Fund is a unique scholarship program to help local families with the expenses, by offering financial support for individuals to attend the Center. The scholarship is available to any family that includes a person with Alzheimer's disease or related disorder needing financial assistance and residing in the towns of Avon, Bridgewater, Brockton, Canton, East Bridgewater, Randolph, Sharon, Stoughton, and West Bridgewater.

Funding is based on financial, social, and physical needs of the Alzheimer's victim and primary caregiver. Eligibility will be determined by the financial aid committee and will be adjusted in accordance with federal guidelines. Depending on need and available funds, the scholarship can provide financial support to attend the program for five days a week.
