The Alzheimer's Disease Education Program (ADEP) improves dementia care through early Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection and caregiver support. This approach aims to enhance patient quality of life and reduce family caregiving burdens.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • The growing elderly population and managed care models necessitate improved dementia care strategies.
  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) management significantly impacts healthcare policy and patient/caregiver quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Alzheimer's Disease Education Program (ADEP) designed to enhance care quality for AD patients.
  • To reduce the caregiving burden on families through structured support and education.
  • To outline effective methods for dementia evaluation and management.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of dementia screening for early AD detection.
  • Provision of comprehensive caregiver education and support services.
  • Systematic approach to dementia evaluation and ongoing management.
