Abstract: Due to the "greying” of the nation’s population, dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other causes, has become another challenge for providers of services to adults with intellectual disabilities. In this book chapter, the authors explore the factors, policies, and support structures that can help agencies provide continued "aging-in-place” dementia-capable care, develop "in- place progression” dementia specific programs, or chose alternative care settings. It also explores some features of dementia-related behaviors that may need to be taken into account in program design and makes suggestions for staff training and planning for dementia programs.
