Establishes the position of dementia services coordinator within the department of health and senior services
HB 1335 creates a new full-time dementia services coordinator position within Missouri's Department of Health and Senior Services. The coordinator will directly improve services for Missourians living with dementia (including Alzheimer's) and their caregivers by coordinating state agency efforts, preventing service duplication, and using dementia-related data to enhance care. Key mechanisms include evaluating existing services, building partnerships with community organizations, supporting dementia-specific staff training, and identifying grant opportunities to expand support. The bill aims to streamline residential, home-based, and community-based care through better coordination and data-driven improvements.
