Bridging Healthcare and Social Services for People Living with Dementia and their Caregivers

As the number of people living with dementia (PLWD) continues to increase, addressing their needs—and those of their caregivers—has become more important. Coordination of comprehensive care and support services across community-based organizations and healthcare systems is necessary to achieve better health outcomes which allow for both people living with dementia and their caregivers to remain in their homes and communities.

In this webinar, panelists will discuss how their organizations integrate healthcare and social services to better support people living with dementia and their caregivers. They will highlight successful program elements, share challenges faced in implementation and expansion, and offer recommendations for healthcare systems and community-based organizations working to bridge gaps between medical health care and social services.

This webinar is hosted by the National Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center.
