The Florida Alzheimer's Disease Initiative (ADI), administered by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) through Area Agencies on Aging, provides support services specifically for family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia disorders.

Services are coordinated through local Area Agencies on Aging and Aging Service Networks. Sliding scale fees apply; no caregiver is turned away for inability to pay. Eligibility requires care recipient to have a confirmed or suspected Alzheimer's or related dementia diagnosis.
Some details for this program are still being verified. Check the official source for the most current information.
