The Alzheimerâs Association, along with the Florida Department of Elder Affairs and senior engagement technology provider iN2L, has announced the launch of "Project VITAL at Home," a new and innovative program specially
designed for those living with lzheimerâs disease or another dementia and their caregivers. Through Project VITAL at Home, participants will receive a wealth of engagement
opportunities with an iN2L tablet and have direct access to the live and on-demand support and education programs of the Alzheimerâs
Association.
âThere are more than 580,000 Floridians living with Alzheimerâs and 1.2 million caregivers providing unpaid support to those individuals,â said Julie Shatzer, vice president of programs for the Florida region of the Alzheimerâs Association. âSocial isolation and boredom are particular challenges for those living with Alzheimerâs and other dementias, as well as their caregivers. Having a way to provide purposeful and meaningful engagement by connecting with family, friends, healthcare providers and other VITAL caregivers means that you never need to go it alone.â
