From the perspective of the authors the core elements of the program include not only the use of a home-based care model but also the selection and training of a new type of front-line care provider. Models like the program presented here show great promise for meeting the demands of a rapidly expanding population of vulnerable older adults.

Effectiveness and Safety of Dementia Care Management in Primary Care

“…Thus, our results indicate meaningful clinical relevance. The study methods were in line with the demand to use standardized sets of outcome measures and well-defined interventions to improve comparability across studies, and our results contribute empirical evidence to currently inconclusive research on DCM approaches in primary care.…”

“…Thus, the review concluded that studies that are rigorous in design and intervention delivery are needed . Intervention modules and a standard set of outcome measures should furthermore be clearly defined to improve comparability …”

“…The number of people with dementia is projected to triple by 2050. In the United States, it is estimated that Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia will cost over $290 billion in 2018 (Ghoge et al, 2003;Robertson et al, 2016;Villarreal et al, 2016;Vollmar et al, 2016).
