Case Management Care Planning and Care Navigation

Community-based adult day programs provide daily care and social connection for older adults living with cognitive impairment and dementia. These services can be an important part of an overall care plan for those living with dementia as they provide daily connection opportunities as well as relief for caregivers. Respite care provides a break for caregivers to allow them to take time to attend to personal matters, while also providing a safe, caring environment for their loved ones to remain cared for during this time. There may be short term or limited respite care available through the Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL) including grants to support caregivers. The best way to learn about these programs is to connect with the DACL or your local lead agency. Lastly, respite care options exist through many private agencies.

The dataset contains locations and attributes of blocks, created as part of the Master Address Repository (MAR) for the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating DC government agencies. The blocks used street centerlines information from DDOT. Blocks include named alleys in DC (such as 'WALTER ALLEY NE'). A block represents a street segment which usually has two bordering streets. The coordinates for the blocks are located at the midpoint of the street segment. More information on the MAR can be found at https://opendata.dc.gov/pages/addressing-in-dc. The data dictionary is available: https://opendata.dc.gov/documents/2a4b3d59aade43188b6d18e3811f4fd3/explore. In the MAR 2, the BlocksPt is called BLOCKS_PT and is primarily based off of street data from DC Department of Transportation's Roads & Highways database, it also features additional useful information such as created date, last edited date, begin date, and more.
