Unmet needs in community-living persons with dementia are common, often non-medical and related to patient and caregiver characteristics

Objective: Understanding which characteristics of persons with dementia (PWD) and their caregivers are associated with unmet needs can inform strategies to address those needs. Our purpose was to determine the percentage of PWD having unmet needs and significant correlates of unmet needs in PWD. Design: Cross-sectional data were analyzed using bivariate and hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses. Setting: Participants lived in the greater Baltimore, Maryland and Washington DC suburban area.

A randomized trial of a web-based platform to help families manage dementia-related behavioral symptoms: The WeCareAdvisor™

Dementia-related behavioral symptoms are challenging clinical features occurring across etiologies and disease progression. They are associated with increased healthcare utilization, nursing home placement, family upset and burden. Families typically manage behavioral symptoms without requisite knowledge, skills and guidance. We designed WeCareAdvisor™ as an easy-to-use, evidence-informed web-based platform.
