CONWAY — A new federal program to help families of people with dementia get access to the help they need now has a home in the valley. The Mount Washington Valley Adult Day Center will be providing the GUIDE Program in Carroll and Coos Counties.
The federally funded pilot program helps pay for dementia care and caregiver respite, and provides help for families to determine the best care and coordinate that care among various medical providers.
