Coordinating care for persons with dementia and their carers improves outcomes

A care coordination programme for patients with Alzheimer's and their carers resulted in improvements in psychosocial function of patients with dementia. The programme, a partnership between community and health organisations, also showed positive results for carers. The work is published in the journal Alzheimer's Research and Therapy and shows that non-pharmacological programs and interventions can play a role in improving care for people with dementia and their family caregivers. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia.
