Dementia Identification Project Manual
Earlier diagnosis and treatment of dementia has tremendous potential to help persons with dementia and their families use community-based support services to improve quality of life and significantly delay out of-home, long-term care placement. In addition, such efforts have been shown to save public expenditures. Partners in this Dementia Identification Project were awarded a Minnesota Department of Human Services Community Service Development Grant. They then implemented a system-change approach based on the best practices of the Chronic Care Networks for Alzheimer’s disease project, building on its successes. Project coordination was provided by the Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging.
