From 1993 to 1996, staff at the start-up MS Achievement Center at the Park — a multiple sclerosis (MS) day center in Rochester, N.Y. — replicated a program based on the country's only existing MS-specific day center, the MS Achievement Center of Minnesota, which had reported the benefit of peer counseling and support for persons severely affected with MS.
The project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Partners in Caregiving: The Dementia Services Program national program.
Key Results
- The center officially opened in June 1993. The center's initial enrollment was 25, and average daily attendance, 11. Eight-five percent of its clients needed total care — i.e., care provided by two nurse's assistants, including feeding.
Funding
RWJF's funding of the national program office of Partners in Caregiving supported the technical assistance provided to this site.

Grant Results Reports
RWJF produces Grant Results reports on its funded initiatives. External writers and editors read the entire grant to prepare each report, which is then reviewed by RWJF staff and by the director of the initiative. Any reviewer in the chain may ask for changes in the report to improve clarity or accuracy.
