Next Steps for Best Practice CaregivingBeginning a two-year dissemination grant • Implement marketing and dissemination campaign• Update program profiles• Add newly identified and newly eligible programs• Implement a financial sustainability plan• Evaluate impact and refine content
Explore possible expansions• Develop a consumer version • Expand focus areas (e.g., non-US program, programs only
for persons with dementia, programs for non-dementia caregivers)
