Abstract:
The growth of the geriatric population and the emergence of managed care dictate new approaches to dementia care. Management of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a critical issue for health care policy as well as quality of life for patients and caregivers. The Alzheimer's Disease Education Program (ADEP) seeks to improve the quality of care for individuals with AD and to reduce the burden of caregiving experienced by families. Objectives of ADEP include early detection of AD through dementia screening followed by caregiver education and support. This article outlines an effective method of dementia evaluation and management.
